Concept Intro - Rule to Type (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying different types of number patterns. It covers recognizing quadratic, arithmetic (increasing), Fibonacci, and repeating patterns from the description of how each sequence of numbers is formed. Each question provides a scenario describing the pattern of numbers, and students are asked to choose the correct type of pattern from multiple-choice options. This includes patterns generated by multiplication, addition, and specific sequence rules such as the Fibonacci sequence. The problems cover introductory concepts in patterning and understanding the rules that generate number sequences.
