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. Patterning is modelled for the students so that they can construct the knowledge rather than be given a set of rules. The activities look at adding and subtr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-cas--adding-polynomials-solving-equations-factoring-trinomials-expanding
