Tujuan

Durasi: 10 to 15 minutes

This stage aims to ensure that students have a solid grasp of the lesson objectives, both cognitive and socioemotional. By doing so, it will guide their learning and establish clear expectations, while also introducing the RULER method for recognizing and regulating emotions during the learning process.

Tujuan Utama

1. Recognize and classify the main types of matrices: identity, zero, singular, and symmetric.

2. Develop socioemotional skills using the RULER methodology as it relates to the study of matrices.

Kegiatan Pemanasan Emosional

🌟 Guided Meditation for Focus and Concentration

The selected emotional warm-up activity is Guided Meditation. This technique helps students centre themselves, remain present, and stay engaged, creating a calm and conducive learning environment. The guided meditation consists of leading students through a series of steps to relax, encouraging them to acknowledge and manage their emotions, in line with the RULER method.

1. Instruct students to sit comfortably in their chairs, ensuring their feet are flat on the floor and their hands resting on their thighs.

2. Encourage them to close their eyes or gaze at a neutral point on the floor to minimize distractions.

3. Guide students to take deep breaths in through their noses, filling their lungs completely, and then exhale slowly through their mouths. Repeat this deep breathing exercise three times.

4. Ask students to focus on their natural breathing, being mindful of the air flowing in and out of their bodies. They should maintain this focus for a few minutes.

5. Lead a visualization exercise: encourage them to picture a peaceful, safe place where they feel relaxed. Invite them to explore this setting using all their senses, noting any sounds, scents, and feelings of calm.

6. After a few minutes, ease students back to the present by inviting them to wiggle their fingers and toes and to open their eyes when they're ready.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

Matrices are extraordinarily versatile and powerful mathematical tools applicable in various fields, including physics, engineering, economics, and computer science. Grasping the different classifications of matrices is crucial for tackling complex problems and fostering the development of advanced technologies. Additionally, exploring matrices can help students cultivate essential life skills, like critical thinking and problem-solving.

However, for students to truly engage with the concept of matrices, they must be emotionally invested. While the link between mathematics and emotions may seem tenuous, it is vital. For instance, the identity matrix can be likened to self-awareness: just as the identity matrix preserves the inherent properties of a matrix, understanding oneself contributes to emotional stability. This kind of analogy not only aids comprehension but also underscores the importance of socioemotional growth.

Panduan Teori

Durasi: 20 to 25 minutes

1. ### Basic Concepts of Matrices

2. Definition of Matrix: A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers organized in rows and columns. For instance, a matrix of order m x n has m rows and n columns.

**3. Identity Matrix: A square matrix where all the main diagonal elements are 1, and all other elements are 0. For example, the identity matrix of order 3 is:

[1 0 0]
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1]
```**

**4. **Zero Matrix**: A matrix in which all elements are 0. For example, a zero matrix of order 2 x 3 is:

[0 0 0] [0 0 0]

**5. **Singular Matrix**: A square matrix that does not possess an inverse, which happens when its determinant is equal to zero. For instance, the matrix:

[2 4] [1 2]

 is singular because its determinant is zero.**

**6. **Symmetric Matrix**: A square matrix equal to its transpose. For example, the matrix:

[1 2 3] [2 4 5] [3 5 6]

 is symmetric since transposing it does not alter its elements.**

### 🧩 Classifying Matrices

Students will be organized into groups and provided with a selection of matrices to classify. Each group will discuss among themselves to identify the correct classification for each matrix (identity, zero, singular, symmetric). Afterwards, each group will present their classifications to the class and explain their reasoning.

**1. Divide students into groups of 4 to 5 individuals.**

**2. Hand out a prepared set of matrices to each group.**

**3. Instruct students to engage in discussion within their groups about how to classify each matrix based on what they've learned.**

**4. Ask each group to prepare a short presentation (3-5 minutes) to convey their classifications.**

**5. Encourage other students to ask questions and engage in discussion during the presentations.**

### Diskusi dan Umpan Balik Kelompok

After the presentations, facilitate a group discussion using the RULER method. First, *recognize* the emotions students experienced during the activity: ask them how they felt while collaborating and presenting. Then, assist them in *understanding* the reasons behind those emotions, relating them to public speaking pressures or the satisfaction of problem-solving.

Invite students to *name* the emotions they experienced, such as anxiety, pride, or frustration. Encourage constructive *expression* of these emotions by discussing how they could enhance their social and emotional skills. Finally, support them in *regulating* these emotions by suggesting self-control techniques and strategies to handle similar situations moving forward.

## Refleksi dan Regulasi Emosional

For students to reflect on the challenges encountered during the lesson and their emotional responses, consider the following activity: Ask each student to write a paragraph about a moment when they felt strong emotions during the lesson (for example, during the group presentation or while addressing a challenging problem). Following this, promote a group discussion where students can share their reflections if they feel comfortable. During this discussion, encourage them to contemplate how they might have handled their emotions differently and what strategies they could apply in the future to enhance their emotional management.

**Tujuan:** The aim of this subsection is to encourage students to participate in self-assessment and emotional regulation. Reflecting on the challenges they faced and how they managed their emotions helps students identify effective approaches for dealing with difficult situations in the future. This practice enhances self-awareness and self-control, both of which are critical for socioemotional and academic growth.

## Pandangan ke Masa Depan

As a closing exercise, invite students to set one personal and one academic goal related to the lesson content. Guide them to consider how they can apply what they've learned about matrices and emotional management in their daily lives and academic pursuits. They can write these goals down, and if time allows, share them with the class.

**Penetapan Tujuan:**

**1. Thoroughly understand the various types of matrices and their applications.**

**2. Cultivate strong collaboration and communication skills while working in groups.**

**3. Implement emotional regulation techniques to manage anxiety during presentations.**

**4. Establish a study routine that emphasizes self-control and self-awareness.**
**Tujuan:** The goal of this subsection is to foster students' autonomy and facilitate the practical application of their learning. By setting personal and academic goals, students are motivated to continue honing their skills in both their academic and personal lives. This approach ensures continuity in their growth and promotes the real-world application of the knowledge they've gained.
