What is the difference between INSTANT dry yeast and ACTIVE dry yeast?

[Maria]

I bought some instant dry yeast, but my recipe calls for active dry yeast. Can I still use mine? The package of yeast says to mix it with flour, but the recipe says to disolve it in water. I'm trying to make bread and am very confused.
