Which term describes teaching in which you start with the first move and then add more moves to complete the sequence?

• A. Repetition-Reduction
• B. Simple-to-Complex
• C. Part-to-Whole
• D. Slow-to-Fast

Answer: (C)

Part-to-Whole means teaching by starting with a single component of the movement sequence and then adding the remaining parts to complete the whole pattern. This chunking approach helps learners lock in the first step correctly, then progressively layer in the rest until the full sequence flows smoothly. It supports better memory and coordination because the learner isn’t overwhelmed by the entire sequence at once. This differs from tempo-focused progressions like Slow-to-Fast, which change speed rather than the order of moves, and from approaches that emphasize increasing overall difficulty or repetitively refining the same movement rather than adding new components step by step.
