Lesson Plan: Gaussian Elimination Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to use Gaussian elimination to get a row echelon form of a matrix and hence solve a system of linear equations.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- use elementary row operations to put a matrix into row echelon form,
- work out how many solutions a system of equations has,
- use Gaussian elimination to solve systems of linear equations.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- matrices.
