Piaget believed that these wrong answers revealed significant differences between the thinking of children and adults. He became interested to find out why children gave incorrect answers to the questions needing logical thinking (Meadows, 2019). In the 1920s, Piaget was working at the Binet Institute and his main responsibility was to translate questions written in English intelligence tests into French. In this article, we examine the implications his work has for the intellectual development of children in classrooms. His work is regarded as the cornerstone in the field of developmental psychology. Cognitive development in children is not only related to acquiring knowledge, children need to build or develop a mental model of their surrounding world (Miller, 2011). The Theory of Cognitive Development by Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist, suggests that children's intelligence undergoes changes as they grow. As examples of applications, a technology - based teaching technique MARTA and Virtual/Augmented Reality are discussed.What is Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development? Among them are understanding of mathematical anxiety as a defensive reaction of the brain on operating memory overflow, finding gifted and talented students objectively, assertion of possible limitations on the educational goals given unfavorable conditions, restricted time of information perception, limited liability of teachers and instructors for the success of their students, and opportunities for better outcomes when group learning, peer leadership, or cross-discipline teaching and learning are implemented. The paper demonstrates the advantages of such approach for mathematics education. It aims to present a classroom as a place where educational neuroscience and educational psychology meet to result in effective pedagogy. This paper introduces a view of educational process as a 3-layer system comprising human brain, personality psychology, and classroom pedagogy.
