Matrices Lesson Plans

Eleventh graders explore dilations.  In this Algebra II instructional activity, 11th graders use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origins of triangles.  Students investigate the effect of scale factor on the size relationship between the preimage and the image of a polygon.

Students solve problems using matrices. For this algebra lesson, students collect data and use matrices to organize their collected data. They interpret the data in the matrices and relate it to different careers. They use addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices.

Eleventh graders use a consumer application to discover algorithm for multiplying matrices. In this exploring matrices lesson, 11th graders explore and apply the commutative, associative, identify and inverse properties for matrix multiplication.

Students explore the concept of matrices. In this matrices instructional activity, students discuss how matrices are organized using rows and columns. Students solve basic word problems using matrices. Students add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Eleventh graders explore matrices. For this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders investigate matrices as a problem solving tool.  Students enter data about ticket sales into matrices.  Students add and multiply matrices to determine profit. 

Students explore the concept of matrices.  In this matrices lesson, students find determinants of matrices on their calculators.  Students find the determinants of 2 x 2 matrices.  Students make conjectures about the determinant of A-B.

Students transform figures using transformation matrices.  In this transforming figures using transformation matrices lesson, students shift figures left, right, up, and down on the coordinate plane.  Students represent polygons using matrices.

Eleventh graders investigate matrices.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders explore addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices.  Students find the determinant and inverse of a matrix.  The lesson includes a set of practice problems

Students investigate 3x3 matrices, determinants, and inverses. They evaluate determinants of 3x3 matrices, and use inverse matrices to solve matrix equations. Students apply matrix operations to cryptograph. They are given a short definition for determinant of a 3x3 matrix, examples of evaluating determinants, verifying inverses, and solving matrix equations.

Students solve systems of equations.  In this atomic weight with matrices lesson, students use a calculator to solve systems of equations.  They use matrix equations and inverse operations to create matrices that describe given compounds.
