Portuguese term or phrase: Cálculos mais no concreto
Taken from a medical report of a child with learning difficulties, this appears in a list of findings from the Nurology exam:

Memória visual: adequado para idade.
Raciocinio lógico: tem que ser direcionado.
Leitura: silábica alfabética sem significado.
Cálculos mais no concreto.


Later in the same report the phrase appears slightly differently: "paciente apresentan-se fase silábica alfabética sem significado, cálculos muito no concreto necessita adequar seus conhecimentos a uma série que melhor adapte seus conhecimento."

I think I understand the idea, but not sure how to best express it in English..

Example sentence(s):
  • Through a chain of refinements, an abstract CDCL calculus is connected first to a more concrete calculus, then to a SAT solver expressed in a functional
  • This concrete calculus is refined further, as a certified functional program extracted using Isabelle's code generator.

more precise calculations


Explanation:
It seems like this refers to the level of precision of the calculations - more 'precise' calculations, which is not the same as 'accurate' or concrete' that feature in other suggestions. (i.e. Calculations can be 'accurate' or 'concrete', but at the same time not 'precise')

So, that more precise calculations were taken for this report, or something along those lines.

perform accurate calculations


Explanation:
This expression wants to specify that the calculations must be carried out as close to their application "more in concrete" (application).

Example sentence(s):
  • He tried to perform accurate calculations in the design of the central pillar of that bridge.
  • Mathematics helps to perform accurate calculations.

Dominant Concrete/Literal Reasoning when Completing arithmetic problems


Explanation:
Students with an IEP often in times rely on concrete reasoning when accomplishing tasks in the classroom. Therefore, this IEP evaluation informs that although the student displays some abstract reasoning "Cálculos mais no concreto"; Concrete/Leteral Reasoning is dominant.
