The Casyopee project: a Computer Algebra Systems environment for students' better access to algebra

Casyopee is an evolving project focusing on the development of both software and classroom situations to teach algebra. This article first describes the general motivation for the project, then its objectives. It is entering a new phase of development as part of the European ReMath project 1 , with the integration of a Dynamic Geometry module. This article illustrates by example the kind of problem that Casyopee can help to solve and how, and the working environment it creates for students.
