Lesson Plan - Matrices Day 1 Dimensions, Scalars, Adding, & Subtraction

This lesson plan introduces students to matrices over one class period. Students will take a pre-assessment on matrices and then learn about matrix dimensions, representing data with matrices, multiplying matrices by scalars, and adding and subtracting matrices. The lesson includes notes, practice problems, and a homework assignment where students can work independently or collaboratively. Accommodations are made for different learners through group work, prepared notes, and color-coding matrices during operations.

Lesson

Plan – Matrices Day 1


Dimensions, Scalars, Adding, & Subtraction

Utah State Core N.VM.6 – Use matrices to represent and manipulate data, e.g., to
Standard and Objective represent payoffs or incidence relationships in a network.
N.VM.7 – Multiply matrices by scalars to produce new matrices,
e.g., as when all of the pay-offs in a game are doubled.
N.VM.8 – Add, subtract, and multiply matrices of appropriate
dimensions.

Students will know what matrices are and how to use them to
represent data.
Essential Question How can you represent relationships and solve problems?
How do activities, Students already know how to add, subtract, and multiply.

Homework Assignments (20 min) – They will work on homework.
They are allowed to work in groups or by themselves as long as
they are working.

Accommodations made Group work - They will work in groups for their homework to help
