This math topic focuses on identifying missing numbers in decreasing arithmetic sequences. It involves recognizing patterns where numbers consistently decrease by the same amount and applying this understanding to find unknown terms in the sequence. Each problem presents a partial sequence with one or more terms missing, requiring the calculation of the correct preceding or following number to complete the pattern. Multiple-choice answers are provided for each question, challenging students to pick the correct continuation based on the established decrement. This exercise helps enhance pattern recognition and arithmetic reasoning skills.
