Adding, Subtracting and multiplying by a scalar is simple and could be done in one day (B-5 – D-6). Multiplying matrices will take two days (E-1 – F-7) one day for practice and another for application. This unit does a good job with application. Solving Matrices Equations requires the discussion of the identity matrix and determinant. This unit goes into great detail about students discovering the pattern for the inverse matrix by using the identity matrix. There may not be time for this and you may need a direct approach to finding determinants and inverse matrices. You might want to skip H and K if you are worried about time. The key to this concept is the application of a matrix to solve a problem. This is where the technology comes in to save on time. Students need to know how to solve a 3 variable equation by hand, but do not need to spend a great deal of time on this. The connection of how to solve a 3 variable equation using matrices is very important. Quality Core put the solving 3 variable equations in the graphing calculator part of their test. There is not enough graphing calculator practice problems and I would find another source, textbook or google it, to obtain some more.

Use the rational root theorem to help you decide what numbers might be roots to use in the synthetic/long division. Look at graphs of polynomials and if there are not as many roots as the highest degree, then there must be pairs of imaginary roots. The discussion of double roots will probably be a part of this discussion. The connection about how many maxima and minimum and the highest power is also an outcome of this discussion.

    NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lesson: Probability Rules! (1.5 day) Teacher Note: This lesson introduces students to the probability notation and emphasizes the addition and multiplication rule. Rather than encourage students to memorize these rules, you might want to encourage them to make a table and compute the probabilities the way they did in Movie Probability. If the students have not used Movie Probability, this could be given as homework and then lead into Probability Rules. A teacher might consider not doing #1 and 2 until after doing #3. The Addition Rule can be taught easily with 3e and discuss that you counted some of the students twice, so it had to be subtracted. The Multiplication Rule is a manipulation of the conditional probability learned in Movie Probability and found in #3c and can be used in that way instead of being memorized. For #4 and #5 make a table of values and then answer the questions.
