Getting a Handle on New Transformations 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Use 2x2 matrices to move along a line. The second day of a two-day lesson is the 28th installment in a 32-part unit. Pupils work together to create and solve systems of equations that will map a transformation to a given point. The lesson connects the concept of multiplication by 2x2 matrices to linearity.

Instructional Ideas
  • Review with the class how to create equations from matrix operations
  • Conduct a discussion on how to determine algebraically whether a point is on a line
Classroom Considerations
  • Class members need to know how to solve literal equations
Pros
  • The lesson expands on the previous day's instruction by making it more abstract in nature
  • The scaffolding suggests learners make a graphic organizer to help remember the transformations associated with the types of matrices
Cons
  • None
