• The student-center method is designed to address the noticeable learning demands, interests, desires, or cultural backgrounds of individual students and groups of students.• This method includes a wide variety of educational programs, learning experience, educational techniques, and academic support procedures.• In this method, teachers, schools, guidance counselors, and other educational specialists apply different educational techniques such as modifying the educational strategies in the classroom and assignments.• One example of the educational strategy in the classroom is redesigning the way in which students are grouped and taught in a class.• The student-centered method can improve independent problem-solving skills.• In this method, which is based on the constructivist learning theory, the students are participated in choosing what they will learn and how their learning will be evaluated.• Applying this technique, especially in classes with a low number of students, provides an opportunity for the students to deeply analyze the conceptual and mathematical problems through mutual communications.
