Concept Intro - Term List to Rule (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying rules that generate given patterns in a sequence of numbers. The problems require users to recognize different types of sequence rules such as arithmetic and geometric progressions, and other specific pattern rules like repeating numbers or sums of prior terms. Each problem provides a sequence and multiple choice answers for determining the rule that creates the sequence. The skills practiced include critical thinking and pattern recognition in a mathematical context.
