This math topic focuses on finding specific terms in increasing arithmetic patterns. Students are provided with a starting number and a pattern rule indicating how much to add for each subsequent term. The challenge is to apply this rule to find the value of a term at a given position (denoted by n) in the sequence. Each question demonstrates this learning objective by varying the starting number and the incremental value added, practicing skills in identifying patterns and performing sequential arithmetic operations.
