Wait, let's start over — teach your class how to return to the beginning. The first instructional activity looking at inverse matrices introduces the concept of being able to undo a matrix transformation. Learners work with matrices with a determinant of one and set up a system of equations to find the appropriate inverse matrix.

Instructional Ideas

  • Have the class members calculate the determinant of the matrix and its inverse to begin seeing a pattern

Classroom Considerations

  • The class should be familiar with the Pythagorean identity for trigonometry
  • Class members need to be able to solve systems of equations
  • The lesson is the 29th installment in a unit of 32

Pros

  • The answer key shows the systems of equations your class must solve
  • The teacher notes provide anticipated responses to discussion questions

Cons

  • Question one in the problem set asks for a description of a formula that has not be fully developed in the lesson
