This math topic focuses on identifying arithmetic sequences by determining the expression that describes the relationship between the terms. Each problem presents a sequence starting with a specified variable (such as p, x, d, or z) set to 1, and asks for the rule that results in the given first three terms of the sequence. Students are provided with multiple potential answers expressed in algebraic forms, and they must select the correct expression that matches the sequence. The broader topic covered is number patterns, specifically focusing on the first terms of arithmetic sequences.
