A concept or skill that is in your zone of proximal development (ZPD) can be properly applied to a problem in order to solve it only with the assistance of peers and/or teachers. A task that is below your ZPD would be one that can be solved on your own with no help, while a task above your ZPD is impossible to solve on your own.
An example of when a teacher has given me a task within my ZPD was in math class after giving a lesson that didnt necessarily teach us how to complete the task, but gave us some tools that would help us collaborate and solve the task. After some help from my classmates, I was able to complete the task.
