Identify the concept of scaffolding: Scaffolding is a teaching method that involves providing support to a learner and gradually removing that support as the learner becomes more competent.
Analyze the situations provided: Look for a scenario where support is given initially and then gradually reduced as the learner gains independence.
Consider the first situation: Ranjan can do math problems up to second-grade level on her own, but she needs help with fourth-grade level problems. This suggests a need for support but does not describe the gradual removal of support.
Consider the second situation: Ranjan understands the conservation of clay. This is a cognitive development concept but not related to scaffolding.
Consider the third situation: Ranjan's mother works one on one with her on a new task but gradually helps less and less. This directly describes the process of scaffolding, where support is reduced as the learner becomes more skilled.
