Patterning - Missing from Geometric Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on identifying missing terms in geometric patterns. Each multiple-choice question presents a sequence where at least one term is omitted, and the challenge is to determine the missing number that fits the pattern correctly. Students are thereby practicing their understanding and analysis of multiplication patterns and sequences, essential skills in recognizing and solving geometric progressions. The questions progress in difficulty and involve solving for unknowns at various positions within each sequence.
