- There is a lesson
plan overview
which is at a slower-pace than our class since
it is intended to guide a teacher
who is teaching not a college course but
a school teacher teaching children -- but
it is both a useful review of the material,
and also can help you mentally connect our
class's math content with "how will I apply
my knowledge, later on, in my own classes?"
There is also a short discussion about Venn diagrams
