This math topic focuses on identifying the first three terms of arithmetic number sequences. Each problem presents a different arithmetic formula, and students are tasked with calculating the initial terms based on the given starting value. The problems cover various arithmetic progressions, enhancing students' skills in recognizing patterns and applying arithmetic operations within sequences. The levels of difficulty and the complexity of patterns vary, providing a comprehensive practice in arithmetic sequences.
