support should be variedaccording to individualstudent need

So So

We teach not to produce little living libraries on a subject, but rather to get

students to think mathematically for themselves, to consider matters as an

historian does, to take part in the

process of knowledge-getting. Knowing is a process not a product.

Adapted from: Jerome Bruner, Toward a Theory of Instruction (1966)
