Patterning - Rule from Equation for Increasing Arithmetic Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding and identifying the rules of increasing arithmetic sequences from given equations. Each problem presents an arithmetic sequence equation, and students must choose the correct rule that describes how the sequence progresses, such as starting at a particular number and adding a constant value to each subsequent term. Multiple-choice answers are provided, where options involve differentiating between adding, subtracting, and multiplying to form the sequence. The problems advance the learners' ability to apply arithmetic sequences in problem-solving contexts.
