What this AI HL matrices worksheet covers

Matrix algebra: operations, determinants, inverses and solving systems of equations. The questions follow the order of the AI HL syllabus for Topic 1 (Number & Algebra) and are graded in three bands — routine practice, exam-standard, and the harder multi-step questions that separate a 6 from a 7.

Addition, scalar multiplication and matrix multiplication
Determinant and inverse of a 2×2 and 3×3 matrix
Solving linear systems with the inverse matrix
Identity and zero matrices; when products are defined
Exam tip for this topic. Write the dimensions of each matrix beside it — undefined products are the most common lost mark.

How to use it

  1. Do the first band without the AI HL formula booklet, then check which formulas you had to look up — those are the ones to memorise.
  2. Time the second band at roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, the pace of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
  3. Mark the third band against the solutions and rewrite every question you lost marks on from a blank page.
