What does "i" do?
The purpose of our lesson is to allow students to foster an understanding of what happens geometrically when a number is multiplied by i. This shall be achieved by working through the lesson using an investigative approach.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-i-do
Roots of Radical Equations
In this activity, students will solve radical equations graphically. Several square and cubic root equations are given for students to graph and find intersections with the x-axis. Students will also use the distance formula to solve an extension problem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/roots-of-radical-equations
Introduction to CAS. Adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, expanding
This series of activities provides an introduction to some Algebra concelpts using CAS. The activities start with Algebra tiles and CAS.
