    The document discusses how transitions can be used when teaching to engage students. It describes scaffolding technique as gradually reducing support to help students develop autonomy. The technique of tell, show, do is explained where teachers first tell students the theory, then show how to apply it by doing a similar problem, and finally have students do the rest of the work on their own. The author came to use this technique based on their own positive experience with scaffolded guidance helping them gradually become competent when learning.
