This process is like chunking the material into smaller component parts, but with the added aspects of connecting, integrated practice, and feedback built into the cycles.
In my own practice I have often used the phrase “mathematicians are lazy” to represent how we often build new methods by resorting to, or transforming problems into old ways that worked. The example of division by a fraction comes to mind, wherein a new concept is transformed into multiplication of fractions, something likely already taught.
