Column Matrix Teacher Resources

No, matrices are not what mathematicians sleep on. Lesson begins with identifying the dimensions of matrices then moves on to multiply them. It also provides guided practice problems that get progressively more complex.

Matrix, matrices, what? The instructor demonstrates how to set up a matrix and explains the rows and columns, the dimensions. There are many uses for matrices and this is just the beginning.
