Real-Math fun! RSA Encryption Exponential Laws Powers of 2 Expansion of Integers
A very interesting piece of the Real-Life Math puzzle that is the ultimate Back-to-school activity!
Exponents, Exponential Laws, Powers of 2, Expressing an integer as the sum of the powers of 2 - also called the binary expansion of the integer.
This product includes a FREE classroom poster, a FREE Google Form quiz (and a FREE PDF-version of the quiz) and a FREE key to the task.
The task, (with key), will involve...
The powers of 2
Expressing integers as the sum of powers of 2
Expressing integers in their binary expansion is a central part of the RSA Public Key Cryptosystem and mathematicians, programmers and students who encrypt data will use it all the time.
It is important that students know (and that teachers always remind them) when they are busy with these topics, that they are learning fundamental mathematics needed to encrypt data and secret messages.
