Standards

Standards related to this lesson in Matrix operations and semantics:
From NCTM (Surprisingly, there seems to be no specific standard for matrices. Perhaps no mention of matrices at all, nor semantics).

This performance task was to be based upon a section from our chosen textbook. After selecting matrix operations, I notice that there are no longer NCTM or NJDOE standards that even mention matrix algebra. I will write a white paper on a closer exploration of this, an why it seems very unwise to remove this material, since matrix algebra underlies almost everything that is implemented using engineering and computers.

A generalization of current standards that might apply are below:

Representation Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to—

 * • || Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas ||
 * • || Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems ||
 * • || Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena ||
