Scaffolding helps kids reach a learning goal or objective that they do not yet have the skills or ability to do on their own. D. Lev Vygotsky's process of children cognitively developing by having a higher-skilled person give them help at the beginning and slowly withdrawing help as the child's learning progresses is __________. Scaffolding supports mathematical understanding by providing the necessary support in applying new information. By being aware of children's current fine motor abilities and their progress in emergent writing, teachers can use a mix of strategies to foster growth in each child's zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978).
