Matrix Multiplication Step By Step

This animation breaks down matrix multiplication into its basic operation: each entry of the product is formed by taking a row from the first matrix and a column from the second, multiplying matching pairs, and summing the results. Highlighted rows and columns move together to show which numbers combine, making the row-by-column pattern easy to follow. Useful for students learning linear algebra fundamentals or reviewing how matrix products are constructed by hand.
