Concept Intro - Type to Rule (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying rules that describe different types of numerical patterns. The problems involve various categories like geometric, Fibonacci, place value, repeating, quadratic, and arithmetic sequences, both increasing and decreasing. For each pattern, two possible rules are provided, and the goal is to select the rule that correctly describes the given pattern. This set of exercises helps in understanding and applying concepts related to pattern recognition and sequence continuation.
