During the concrete operational stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 7 and 11, children gain the ability to think logically about concrete events. They begin to understand the concept of conservation (the understanding that quantity does not change despite changes in the shape of containers), and they can perform mental operations such as mentally adding and subtracting numbers. This stage follows the preoperational stage, where children are more focused on symbolic play and struggle with understanding the viewpoint of others.
