Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario that puts out a basket of pinecones in the block center and challenging them to include at least two in their block structures would provide the most feedback on cognitive problem solving skills as it requires the children to think creatively and come up with solutions to incorporate the pinecones into their block structures. This would provide insight into their problem-solving abilities, spatial reasoning, and creativity. The other scenarios may provide insight into social skills or personal preferences, but not necessarily cognitive problem-solving skills.
