It's a running joke in math that many books and lectures start with something like "1+1=2" then 15 min later no one has any idea what's going on.

If you have learned how to learn mathematics you know there is a lot to engage with in that early simple content-- but many students take it as a signal to just tune out--

If the teacher is excited enough and conveys that more is happening? Well sometimes you can get them on board. And that's when the real fun begins.
