Provide "acknowledged body of knowledge" related to the concept. Emphasize the most significant aspects of the concept in an organized, organic manner. Present information sequentially so students see continuity. Draw attention to important, discrete details; don't swamp students with myriad facts.
Instruction on: volume and surface area.
Objective: To provide instruction based on the concept that the formulas used in finding volume and surface area are patterns that we use repeatedly no matter what the dimensions.
Activity: Present lessons on volume and surface area of geometric solids. The formulas that are used are patterns that we follow.
