Description
Determinants and Inverse Matrices Math Lib Activity
Students will find the determinant of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices, determine whether two matrices are inverses, determine whether a matrix has an inverse, and find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix. There are also matrix operations (addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication) integrated into a few of the determinant questions.
The answer at each of the 10 stations will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.) This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the "star" of the story.
EDIT ALL STORY ELEMENTS! All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.
GOOGLE FORM OPTION: This activity includes a link to a Google Forms version of the activity. If you have already purchased this resource, please redownload for the update.
This activity works very well in conjunction with my Pre-Calculus Systems of Equations and Matrices Unit.
