How Do You Multiply a Matrix by a Scalar?

Class members make a real connection to matrices in the 25th part of a series of 32 by looking at the identity matrix and making the connection to the multiplicative identity in the real numbers. Pupils explore different...

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Are all transformations of the plane linear transformations? The video provides examples of transformations of the plane and provides the definition of linear transformations. The resource begins the discussion of using matrix...

Make connections between vectors and matrices through multiplication. Scholars use the interactive to view the effect of multiplying a matrix by a scalar. The interactive displays the resulting matrix and its corresponding column vectors...

The rule is add before multiplying, even with matrices. Pupils use a slider to change the scalar multiplying the sum of two matrices. The interactive displays the resulting solution matrix, and requires scholars answer five questions...

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.

Discover the procedure to add and subtract matrices. Pupils use the interactive and discover the pattern in adding and subtracting matrices. Scholars adjust the entries in the addends and see the resulting changes in the sum. They also...

Solve a matrix in code—color code. Pupils use the interactive resource to set up the matrix equation and its solution path. Scholars use the created solution path to determine the entries of the 2 X 2 solution.

Learners investigate matrices by exploring addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices.  Students find the determinant and inverse of a matrix.  The lesson plan includes a set of practice problems
