A child of Class VI is able to find solutions of given linear equations but is not able to solve word problems. The child is at Piaget's

The child of Class VI who can find solutions to given linear equations but struggles with solving word problems is most likely at Piaget's Concrete-Operational Stage.

Key Points

• Concrete-Operational stage is characterized by the development of logical thinking, but it is generally limited to concrete objects and situations.
• Children in this stage can solve problems that involve concrete concepts but may struggle with abstract reasoning or hypothetical situations, such as those often presented in word problems.
• While they can handle specific calculations (e.g., solving linear equations when presented directly), they might find it difficult to translate a real-world scenario into a mathematical equation, which is a more abstract task.

Hence, we can conclude that the child is at Piaget's Concrete-Operational Stage.
