Entering Matrices on the Graphing Calculator

But you are not limited to calculator tutorials.

If you have a Smart Board you can do this…

How does this fit in with the new Common Core Standards?

• 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

• 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

• 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

• 4. Model with mathematics.

• 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

• 6. Attend to precision.

• 7. Look for and make use of structure.

6. Attend to precision.

• Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.

It’s not just for teachers!

• Give students a problem to solve and then have them record how they did it.

• How could this be beneficial to the student?

• How could this be beneficial to the teacher?

• How could this be helpful to the class as a whole?
