Teachers should identify lesson topics to include in instruction based in large part on what the children are currently interested in. If the children are interested in the topic they have a better chance of understanding the material and applying it in future situations. The IRIS module also explains that while each topic taught should fit into the unit and its corresponding benchmark or standard, the specific topic being used for that concept has more room for being creative. Of course, the lesson itself should be based on the standards set and fit into the curriculum set for the particular school. For example, if the students need to be learning about addition there is nothing to say that they cannot learn to add their scores from a game the class likes to play. This is more exciting and more relevant to the students than just adding random numbers and it shows them how addition is applicable and useful to real-life.
