Abstract
Diversity in the classroom, non-traditional settings and the challenge of incorporating technology into teaching have led the author to adopt several strategies for successful teaching and learning of linear algebra. One of the components consists of a set of computer projects which allows students to explore new concepts, make conjectures, apply theorems and work on applied projects of their choice. The following strategies are described: (1) exploration of new concepts through computer exercises; (2) teaching linear transformations as early as possible; (3) emphasis on geometry; (4) teaching to write mathematics through development of a portfolio; (5) using computer projects for motivation and applications. The resulting improvement in student learning has been remarkable.
