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

This math topic focuses on identifying the value of terms in arithmetic sequences, where each problem provides a starting value and a constant addition rule. The problems involve calculating the value of a specific term given its position in the sequence (denoted by 'n'). The sequences explored have varying starting points and increment values, testing the learner's ability to apply and manipulate the formula for an arithmetic sequence in different scenarios. The goal is to determine the value of the sequence at a particular position, enhancing skills in recognizing and working with patterns and arithmetic progressions.
