Abstract

Scaffolding is a mechanism for observing the process by which a learner is helped to achieve his or her potential learning. Regard to nature of scaffolding, it seems that scaffolding process can have an effect on learning and teaching procedure. In the present study, researchers have studied primary nature of scaffolding method in mathematical learning, then introduced mathematical samples through scaffolding method. Finally researchers have provided many strategies for better implementation of scaffolding method on mathematical learning and teaching.
