Connect students directly to the concept in a personal way. Capture students' attention by initiating a group problem-solving activity before delivery of instruction. Begin with a situation that is familiar to students and builds on what they already know. Construct a learning experience that allows diverse and personal student responses. Facilitate the work of cooperative teams of students.
Students explain what it means when they are told to do something.
Objective: To connect the students to experiences in their own lives where something has been necessary or sufficient.
Activity: Each student explains to their neighbor what it means when someone tells them that it is necessary for them to do something, and what it means when someone tells them that what they have done is sufficient. They should give an example to support their reasoning.
