What is your favorite mathematics topic to teach? Mine is probably graphing trig functions. I just love graphing, but the kids seem to hate it.

Polynomial functions and their graphs. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. The use of DESMOS now that we are hybrid has been a great help to the connections.

Tough decision.......probably solving equations or multiple representations
