This math topic focuses on identifying the next item in 3-item repeating number patterns. This basic skill is designed to help students recognize and continue sequences where numbers repeat in cycles of three. In the given examples, students are provided with a pattern and are requested to select the next correct number that continues the sequence. This type of problem is essential for developing early pattern recognition and logical thinking skills in mathematics. The problems escalate in complexity to enhance understanding of patterns in a number series context.
