Worksheet variations

Each entry of AB comes from a row of A and a column of B: multiply the matching entries and add. The entry in row i, column j uses row i of A and column j of B. The number of columns of A must equal the number of rows of B, and AB is usually not equal to BA.

FAQ

How do you multiply two matrices?

Each entry of the product is a row of the first matrix times a column of the second: multiply matching entries and add. The entry in row 1, column 2 uses row 1 and column 2.

Is AB the same as BA?

Generally not. Matrix multiplication isn't commutative, so the order matters, and sometimes only one order is even defined.

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix multiplying matrices with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
