Rule for Geometric Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on recognizing and determining the rules of geometric number patterns. Each question presents a sequence of numbers and multiple choices to identify the multiplication rule that generates the sequence. The task is to select the correct rule that follows each given set of numbers consistently. Skills practiced include identifying multiplication factors and understanding geometric progression principles.
