I took cryptography in college and liked it.

My answer would be the fun math stuff. Stuff that has no standard but is just fun. Tesselations, friendly numbers, dive into stuff like Fibonacci sequences and Pascal’s triangle. Develop true number sense. That would be fun.

Yes! I used to teach an Algebra 3 course, basically CV college algebra. I hated when students really liked a topic but we had to move on to other material...and I hated that we couldn't really slow down for material they found particularly challenging.

Need suggestions for how to make cauliflower rice not taste like cauliflower. I love rice, eat it almost once week (significantly cut down from eating it almost every day as a child through college 😅) so switching to cauliflower rice is a challenge since texture and taste wise, I just KNOW it’s not rice. Usually eat it with seasoned chicken and veggies. I like regular cauliflower but for some reason, riced cauliflower has a stronger cauliflower taste for me?
