A. Objective- The students will be able to describe a matrix by its rows and columns English Language Arts Standards » Science & Technical Subjects » Grades 9-10
==Integration of Knowledge and Ideas CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.9-10.7 Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.==

== B. Introduction- What have we been learning about class? (wait for an answer) What do matrices have? (wait for an answer) if I were to have a matrix on the board, and ask you to tell me where a number is located using the rows and the columns, will you be able to do that? Well class, we will be learning how to do that today. ==

== C. Model- I will have 3 different matrices on the board, I will ask my students to pick a number from each of the matrices, Then, I will describe where that number is located using the rows and columns of that matrix. For example, “number 7 is in the second row and third column.” However, I will go in details on the board, and I will be pointing on the number, and the matrix.==

== D. Guided Practice- Students will be given similar matrices as the ones I have modeled for them, and they will locate numbers based on their rows and columns. Students have to write in sentences where a number is located. I will be walking around to help students who need help. This activity will be done in pairs.==

== F. Assessment- I will know that my students have learned by having the right answers on the “independent practice” activity. I will be looking for a. sentences and b. the correct usage of “rows” and “columns”==
