Activity Overview |
|
This activity explores the equivalence of algebraic expressions in
expanded and factored form, using patterning with CAS to expose
commonly held student misconceptions. More precisely, the activity
speaks to the following curriculum expectations: expand and simplify
second-degree polynomial expressions involving one variable that
consist of the product of two binomials or the square of a binomial,
using a variety of tools and strategies. |
