Concept Intro - Rule to Type (Level 1)
This math topic focuses on identifying and describing numerical patterns. It primarily deals with questions related to deducing the type of sequence described by given rules, such as arithmetic progressions (increasing or decreasing), repeating patterns, and potentially other sequence types like Fibonacci. Students are required to determine the nature of patterns based on how each term is manipulated, either through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or a repeated sequence. This topic forms a part of an introductory unit on number patterns.
