concept. In order to help tutors provide effective scaffolding, Aljaafreh & Lantolf (1994) attempt to catalogue some of the characteristics of effective scaffolding in an L2 context. They suggest scaffolded help needs to be offered only when needed and removed as soon as the learner is able to function independently; graduated according to the learner’s changing proficiency needs; and must be g...

This study aims at proposing a feasible classroom activity which can introduce math knowledge by systematically scaffolding students to figure the new concept out and then construct their own logics and thoughts by written and oral language. A three-step learning flow, including puzzle-solving, writing to learn, and peer explanation, is proposed in this study. To investigate the fundamental the...
