In this matrix multiplication worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 8 different problems that include a number of steps in an activity. First, they use the matrix illustrated to respond to various questions referring to it. Then,...

What size is the product of two matrices? Individuals determine that two matrices that can be multiplied and their resulting matrix by connecting them in the interactive resource. They make a generalization about the sizes of...

Calculate the nutrients in different types of dog biscuits. Pupils create a technical report outlining the amount of calcium, protein, and carbohydrates in three types of dog biscuits. The project-based learning activity requires...

Multiplication in polar form is nice and neat—that is not the case for coordinate representation. Multiplication by a complex number results in a dilation and a rotation in the plane. The formulas to show the dilation and rotation are...

Due to the isolation of seamounts, their biodiversity offers a great deal of information on the development of biological and physical processes. Pupils use simple cluster analysis to rate the similarity and differences in biological...

As part of a study of Angel Island Immigration Station, young historians examine the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first restriction on the United States immigration based on race and nationality. They complete a matrix identifying...

Class members perform complex operations on a plane in the 17th segment in the 32-part series. Learners first verify that multiplication by the reciprocal does the same geometrically as it does algebraically. The class then circles back...

Young historians investigate how voting patterns have changed by comparing the outcome of the 1960 election to the outcome of the recent election. A creative final assessment has participants making a news show wherein they provide...

Students examine characteristics of a matrix. After identifying the determinant of a matrix, students explore the properties of matrix multiplication. They review the properties of matrix multiplication and identify determinants in a...

Using online and newspaper resources, small groups explore the issue of global security. They answer 13 different questions on three pages that have them consider multiple risks posed by a global security system. 

In this matrices activity, 9th graders solve and complete 11 different problems that include interpreting various matrices shown. First, they determine the operations that would result in the matrix illustrated. Then, students find the...

This first of twelve algebra 2 resources provides a broad review of many algebra 1 concepts through a number of separable lessons and labs. Starting with the real number system and its subsystems, the sections quickly but thoroughly...

Use the age-old Traveling Salesman Problem to introduce Hamilton circuits to your young travelers. Individuals then plan an efficient route to visit all the places they want to go.

Young historians learn more about the history of Angel Island Immigration Station through their analysis of primary source images. Guided by a list of inferential questions, scholars learn how to make and record observations on a...

After watching Treasure in the Sea, a documentary about Channel Islands National Park and the video First Contact, about the voyage of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo to the Channel islands, groups research and then compare the...

Visible Thinking Routines are designed to help learners deepen their understanding of what they are learning and enable them to communicate their understanding of concepts to others. Individuals adopt one of these routines to use to...

A guided lesson using the WolframAlpha computer program. The class explores the basic operations of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing matrices to solve problems.

Students explore matrices. Given a particular situation, they discover the make-up and design of a matrix. Students identify examples of rectangular arrays used in real world situations. They solve oral problems in class.

Students add and multiply matrices. They explore the dimensions of products of a matrix. After observing problems on the overhead, students solve their own matrix problems. They list and define the properties of matrix multiplication.

Students use matrices and linear equations to decrypt a secret message. They receive a part of the encoded message to decode by means of inverse matrices. Pupils write critiques about the activity.

Young scholars perform operations with matrices. In this algebra lesson plan, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Do you ever give your class the "teacher look"? Without saying a word, they become silent and engaged (hopefully). How do they know what you're thinking? Explore the concept of nonverbal communication and how it relates to our...

Learn the ins and outs of matrix multiplication. After discovering the commutative property does not apply to matrix multiplication in a previous lesson plan in the series, pupils now test the associative and distributive properties. The...

Astronomers practice downloading data from a high-energy satellite and translate the data into colored or shaded pixels. As a hands-on activity, they use pennies to simulate high-energy satellite data and they convert their penny...
