Explicit, systematic instruction, sometimes referred to as explicit instruction, involves teaching a specific concept or procedure in a highly structured and carefully sequenced manner. Research indicates that teaching mathematics in this manner is highly effective and can significantly improve a student’s ability to perform mathematical operations and solve word problems. In this video, a high school teacher implements explicit, systematic instruction during mathematics instruction.
