Concept Intro - Term List to Rule (Level 1)
This math topic focuses on identifying the rules that create specific numerical sequences. The problems present students with a list of numbers, and they must choose the correct mathematical rule that generates the sequence from multiple options. These rules involve basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The goal is to enhance students' understanding of number patterns and their ability to form generalizations and predictions based on given terms.
