Introduce a new topic by showing a problem it solves, that way the students know where you will lead them. While using a problem as motivator for the content is certainly advisable, there are also some arguments for not combining this with a top-down approach as this might not fit well with varying learning styles of the students. A mix of both approaches (top-down and bottom-up) often seems to work good[1].
