Summary
In a Concept Attainment lesson, we give students examples and non-examples of a concept — without telling them what that concept is!
- First, we show three examples of the concept and three non-examples. Pick these carefully and beware of setting up false patterns.
- Next, we show students three ungrouped items and they decide which are examples and which are non-examples.
- Finally, we reveal the correct placements, discuss the patterns students were noticing, and reveal the concept.
