Solve equations where the unknown is a matrix, by using matrix addition and subtraction. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly or receive hints.

This tutorial gives students an introduction to matrix addition with definitions and examples.

This over view of matrices begins with an application to electronics using circuit equations. Examples are provided to demonstrate types of matrices, the identity matrix, addition and scalar multiplication of matrices.

The tutorial examines the matrix of a system and row operations. Students learn about the concepts through class notes, examples, and practice problems. Topics include a system of linear equations and augmented matrices. Review exercises...

In this activity, students learn to create and edit a matrix using the matrix editor. They use various features in the calculator to perform elementary row operations and convert a matrix to its reduced row echelon form. Finally they...

In this Derive activity, students use matrix multiplication as a tool for drawing the outlines of a simple stick house. They work in two dimensional space and show the results of multiplying a figure by 2 X 2 matrices.

The topic summary outlines matrix algebra. Some topics reviewed are operations with matrices, matrix inverse, and algebra of matrices. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.

Gives the basics on when to use matrices effectively. Example is included to make things clearer.

This site has a good definition and examples of determinants, the site begins by explaining what the value of a determinant is, then gives an example of the determinant of a two by two matrix, a generic formula for finding the...

This site from Washington State University is useful to students as it will break down and solve the matrix for them.

Purplemath explains each of the elementary row operations and goes through explaining how each step is carried out and the common notation for each operation. The lesson ends with an example of how to solve an augmented matrix.

Students explore operations with matrices. Topics examined are matrix addition, scalar multiplication, matrix multiplication, and identity matrices. Class notes and examples are included.
