A teacher shows her students a completely worked out solution to a multiple-step problem. She then shows them similar examples with fewer and fewer of the steps worked out and requires them to complete the missing steps. Finally, she gives them a similar multiple-step problem they have to solve on their own. Which of the following is the correct name for this procedure?
A) Solving an analogous problem.
B) Backward fading.
C) Breaking the problem into parts.
D) Working on a simpler version of the problem first.

Backward fading involves initially presenting a fully worked example and gradually reducing the support, requiring learners to complete more of the task independently. This method helps in building understanding and confidence in solving problems.
