Narrative:

Student and I were 7 miles to the southwest of frg returning to land at frg. We obtained the ATIS and made initial contact to the tower. Local controller gave us instructions to enter on the right downwind for runway 14. We we're proceeding inbound and heard a twin [aircraft] over jones beach reporting to make the same entry for the right downwind for 14. There were about 8 other aircraft in the pattern and touch and go operations were ceased. We are on the 45 entry to the right downwind at 1;100 feet and 90-95 knots; as we were entering on the right downwind for 14; the twin [aircraft] had over flown us with gear and flaps deployed and still descending. I immediately took flight controls from my student and proceeded to make a descending left turn to avoid the twin [aircraft] and fly away from the downwind. After maneuvering to avoid the twin [aircraft]; I reported the incident to the local controller. The local controller instructed the twin [aircraft] to maintain 1;600 feet. I was able to rejoin the downwind and carried on with the flight and landing. The contributing factor that led up to this incident I think is the failure of the twin [aircraft] pilot to maintain visual separation and failed to utilize the 'see and avoid' technique as well as failure to slow down in the traffic pattern environment.
