    This document proposes a game called "Fix Me" to help students learn how to calculate determinants. The game involves students working in groups to solve puzzles and answer questions about determinants. It aims to improve students' skills in calculating determinants and understanding the law of signs. The game procedure involves grouping students, giving them puzzles to solve, and questions to answer as a team. Correctly answering questions earns the group points, and the group with the most points wins. The game is designed to make learning determinants engaging and help students master the topic.

    FIX ME!

    According to Devlin (2012), math is something you play with, something you do. Math
    subject is not about computation or make your lives more complicated, but you can enjoy math
    through games, that’s why as a future mathematics teacher we ensure that this game will make
    you love mathematics.

    Since most of the students having a hard time in solving determinants, especially in
    applying the Law of Sign, this game is proposing to make them master how to get determinants
    and recall their previous lessons about law of sign. Through this game, the students will catch
    their attentions and enjoy the lesson. Therefore, they will learn a lot.

    BENEFICIARY:

    Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics

    LOCATION:

    Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology – San Isidro Campus

    DEFINITION:

    The determinant of a matrix is a scalar value that is a function of a square matrix. Its input
    consists of a square matrix, while the output is a number. It can be denoted as det (A).
    Determinant is useful in solving for linear equation, capturing how linear transformation change,
    and changing variables into integrals. It can determine whether those matrices have an inverse
    and if the system of equation has a unique solution. Moreover, determinants is useful particularly
    to the field of science, engineering, big data, data analysis, business calculus, and so on.

    OBJECTIVES:

    * To identify the knowledge of the participants in finding the pieces of puzzles to put together in
    order to get the correct image to solve the given equation

    * To measure students’ knowledge on how to get the determinants of the given matrix

    * To improve students’ ability and mastery of solving the determinants

    * To show students’ ability to connect as a team.

    DESCRIPTION:

    This game is called Fix Me. A game that involves a puzzle in which a group of students
    will try to put the pieces together to arrive at the correct image. The puzzle contains a set of
    questions about determinants of a matrix. A fun and interactive way to test students pattern
    recognition and help them understand the process of solving to come up with the right answer.
    This game will be played by a group of students, which purposely created to improve students’
    ability and mastery of solving the determinants. To measure their knowledge on how to get the
    determinants of a given matrix, their communication, cooperation, and unity as a team, to solve
    the hidden message as fast as they can, and get the points to win the game.

    PROCEDURE:

    STEP 1: The students will be group into 6 consisting of 5 members per group.

    STEP 2: Your teacher will give a puzzle and you will fix it; the cooperation of each member is
    important to quickly build the puzzle

    STEP 3: After completing the puzzle given by your teacher, you will proceed again with your
    teacher to get the questions that is ready for you to answer. Each member must answer one by
    one on a board. (Calculators and cellphone are not allow during the game)

    *For questions 1 and 2, find the determinants.

    [ ]
    10 7 −3
    [ ] 7 4
    9 2
    0 −1 5
    3 5 9

    *For questions 3 and 4, find the adjucate/inverse.

    [ ]
    9 2 1
    [ 15 8
    4 0 ] 7 5 −4
    2 −8 10

    *For question 5, apply the Cramer’s rule

    2x + y + z = 3

    x–y–z=0

    x + 2y + z = 0

    STEP 4: The first group who get the correct answer will be given 2 points. The group who will
    gain the most points will be the winner.
