Abstract
- We describe exercises in which students use PascGaloisJE to formulate conjectures about certain binomial identities which hold when the binomial coefficients are interpreted as elements in the cyclic group [image omitted] of integers modulo a prime integer p. In addition to having an appealing visual component, these exercises are open-ended and expose students to the investigative nature of mathematical discovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
