Math 140: College Algebra Workbook with Desmos Applications

by Lynda Zenati

The Math 140 (College Algebra) Workbook supports active learning through collaborative problem solving, conceptual exploration, and Desmos-enhanced activities. By combining instruction, hands-on learning, and guided reflection, it promotes deeper understanding and student engagement. More than a collection of activities, it provides a coherent framework for active, conceptually focused teaching in College Algebra.
