The section about walking the students through the material first is important in this chapter. The students do not want to struggle through the subject and then get the teacher’s input later.
This would be an easy trap for a lazy math teacher to fall into. Assign some work from the book, let the kids figure it out, the next day go over it to check for concerns. The students cannot teach themselves, if they could we would get them all a library card and there would not be a need for teachers. Learning how to do something as a class and then individually trying it is by far a more effective approach.
