Multiply by Scalar (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing matrix scalar multiplication, a fundamental algebraic operation in the broader unit on matrices. Students are provided with a series of matrices to which a scalar is applied. The tasks involve calculating the resulting matrices after the multiplication by the given scalar, testing students' ability to apply scalar multiplication to various matrix dimensions and configurations, and selecting correct outcomes from multiple choices, promoting critical thinking and accuracy in matrix operations.
