	'''Examples first''' is a (controversial) pedagogical principle that states that a discussion of a few relevant examples should ''precede'' the formal definition (and perhaps in some cases the formal definition is not needed at all). This is in contrast with the more common pedagogical approach of [[define then discuss]], that starts with a definition, and ''then'' examples are presented or discussed to reinforce or clarify the definition.

'''Examples first''' is a (controversial) pedagogical principle that states that a discussion of a few relevant examples should ''precede'' the formal definition (and perhaps in some cases the formal definition is not needed at all). This is in contrast with the more common pedagogical approach where the definition is presented first, ''then'' examples are presented or discussed to reinforce or clarify the definition.
