For learning the mathematical concepts need to have special skills. Reasoning is skill that uses to teach and learn. These reasoning must have harmony to real life. Analogical reasoning is reasoning skill that made to better learning in mathematical context. In this research, analogical reasoning skills have been instructed on 20 students of first grade in girly high school and the results of the Leven and independent samples tests have shown that instruction through analogical reasoning improves the mathematical learning. Therefore it seems that instruction of mathematical concepts through analogical reasoning modify the misconceptions and difficult of mathematical problems for students.Keywords

Scaffolding is a mechanism for observing the process by which a learner is helped to achieve his or her potential learning. Regard to nature of scaffolding, it seems that scaffolding process can have an effect on learning and teaching procedure. In the present study, researchers have studied primary nature of scaffolding method in mathematical learning, then introduced mathematical samples through scaffolding method. Finally researchers have provided many strategies for better implementation of scaffolding method on mathematical learning and teaching.Keywords
