This math topic focuses on identifying and predicting the next number in a four-item repeating pattern. It helps develop skills in recognizing and continuing sequences, which is fundamental in understanding number patterns. Each problem presents a sequence where students must determine the subsequent number that follows the established repeating pattern. Multiple-choice answers are provided for each sequence, testing the student's pattern recognition skills. This is part of a broader introduction to number patterning.
