 h English (en)In Montessori education, the '''Isolation of Difficulty''' refers to a pedagogical approach where a teacher analyses an activity prior to presenting it to a child. Procedures or movements that might be challenging are isolated and taught separately to the child.<ref>Montessori, M. (1912). The Montessori Method. Frederick A. Stokes Company.</ref> For instance, holding and snipping with scissors, a basic movement, is demonstrated before teaching how to cut curved or zigzag lines. This method ensures that a task is neither overwhelming nor too easy, but provides an appropriate level of challenge to engage and stimulate the child's learning.
