Question

What is a teaching example? How can that be related to math?

Answer 1

I would assume that a teaching example would be an example that you would use to explain how something works, one that you would teach with.  In math, if you were introducing the idea of multiplication you might demonstrate the idea of dividing a large group into equal smaller ones by dividing a bag of cookies among the class then show them how to represent that mathematically.  You teach through the example.
