Paper Planes

We looked at intersection of planes this week in calculus and vectors. To test our knowledge groups got a system of 3 planes and used their skills to determine if the system was consistent (there was a point/line/plane of intersection) or whether the system was inconsistent (no point/line/plane of intersection) and how.

The next step was to cut out their system, and slide the pieces together to see how the planes intersect.

We had 4 groups and 4 different results.

It was a fun way to visualize what our matrices told us!
