More applications with matrices

Here is the lead-up to Thanksgiving:

11/17  Transformations with Matrices - an exploration
11/19  Transformations with a story (Alice in Wonderland!) (due 11/21)
11/20  More practice with systems and matrices
11/21  More practice with matrix skills through applications

11/24  C-Block quiz;  F-Block review/practice
11/26  Half Day A C F G;  C-Block extra fun practice;  F-Block quiz
11/27  Thanksgiving

After Thanksgiving we will start a systems application called Linear Programming.

Solving systems on the calculator

The calculator is going to be of prime importance for everything else we are doing with matrices.  Please make sure you bring it every day.

11/10  Solving systems 2 ways on the calculator (rref & the reciprocal key)
11/12  More practice using the calculator to solve systems
11/13  Quiz on solving systems, intro to networks
11/14  Bigger networks and their matrices

11/17  (maybe) more applications or (maybe) Intro to transformation matrices

Linear Systems and Matrices

Finishing up inverses and start solving linear systems of equations using graphs, algebra and matrices

10/27  More Inverse Practice
10/29  Fix the Transformation Quizzes for final grading
10/30  Graphing Inverses Activity
10/31  Solving for any variable (with candy!) activity

11/03  Pop-Quiz on Inverses,  Solving Systems by Graphing
11/05  Solving Systems Algebraically
11/06  Intro to Matrices (dimensions, scalar multi., add/subtract)
11/07  Matrix Multiplication by hand and by calculator
