Identify Type (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on identifying different types of matrices. The specific types of matrices that students must identify include lower triangular, upper triangular, identity, column, diagonal, zero, and row matrices. Each question provides a matrix, and students are required to determine the matrix type from multiple choices given. There are various matrix forms presented to test the understanding of matrix classifications in context. The topic is part of a broader unit on matrices, indicating a foundational exploration into matrix theory.
