My Lecture will consist of a loosely followed power point presentation. We will conduct intellectual discussion about this subject and relevant topics with icebreakers and engagement questions. We will also play a competitive game at the end of class to test students' knowledge.

Students may enter the class with little prior knowledge, or they may be unfamiliar with some of the vocabulary used in this class. It will not be a big issue, since I will be prepared to answer questions regarding that. This is a topic that is typically not covered in middles school / high school curricula. Hence, it is designed for those with less prior knowledge. I am assuming students have a basic understanding of shapes, solids, graphs, number lines, and abstract thinking.
