Determinant of a Matrix (2x2 and 3x3) Connect 4 Game Worksheet

Need a no-prep practice activity for finding the determinant of a matrix? You found it!

• How it works: This worksheet requires students to find the determinant of a matrix and find their answer in a 4x4 grid, mark the solution, and continue until they've marked four in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).
• What you get: Two versions, each containing 16 problems for a total of 32 unique problems. Answer keys are provided.
  • Two versions with 2x2 matrices problems
  • Two versions with 3x3 matrices problems
• Why it's awesome: This worksheet is self-checking - all answers are shown in the 4x4 grid. Students are playing a game while practicing the math topic - better than a boring worksheet!

Multiple Ways to Play:

• Complete either version individually
• Play as partners (each student plays a different worksheet version) to see who can connect 4 first
• Play a blackout version for even more practice!
• Play "connect 3" for students who need differentiation

Perfect for:

• Sub plans
• Math stations
• Extra practice
• Study material
• Homework assignment
