PROCEDURE & EXPLANATION OF LESSON PLAN

Start the session by asking the questions related to the matrices and system of linear equations in two variables. Now introduce complete topic determinants as follows.

PROCEDURE & EXPLANATION

First of all teacher will start the session by asking certain questions of matrices. Then introduce the topic determinant.

Now teacher will help the students in finding the determinant of 2 x 2 matrices and  3 x 3 matrices.

Definition of Determinant

Determinant is a number associated with the square matrix.

To every square matrix A = [a_ij]  of order n, we can associate a number (real or complex) called determinant of the square matrix  A.

Determinant of matrix  [A] is denoted by |A|

Properties of Determinants

Now teacher will explain all the properties of determinants with the help of examples and apply them in different problems. Teacher will provide sufficient number of problems to the students for practice.

Concepts of minor and cofactor

Now teacher will introduce the concept of minor and Determinant  and will explain the method of finding the minors and cofactors. Students will be given sufficient method of finding the determinants by using the cofactors.

Area of Triangle

Now teacher will explain the method of finding the area of the triangles by using determinants.

Adjoint and Inverse of a Matrix

First of all teacher will explain the definition of Singular matrices, invertible matrices and Adjoint of a matrix.

Singular Matrix: A matrix whose determinant is equal to zero is called a singular matrix. If determinant is not equal to zero then it is called Non-Singular Matrix. 

Invertible Matrix: A matrix is said to be invertible if it is non-singular.

Now teacher will explain the method of finding the Adjoint and inverse of the square matrices.

Consistency and and Inconsistency of system of linear equations.

Teacher will Discuss and Explain the consistency, inconsistency and the number of solutions of the system of linear equations with two or three variables.

Solution of System of Linear Equations

Now teacher will explain the method of solving the system of linear equations in two or three variables by using Adjoint method of finding inverse of matrix method.

REFLECTION OF THE ACTIVITY

After these activities and explanations students will start 

• Making discussion on on determinants, minors, cofactors, adjoint and inverse of matrices.
• Students start reflecting the method of finding the determinants of 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 matrices.

IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK

After the completion of each topic teacher will conduct a simple quiz or simple MCQ test for the students.
From the responses of the students teacher will understand the degree of understanding of the students.
