Next in Decreasing Arithmetic Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on identifying the next numbers in decreasing arithmetic patterns. It involves analyzing sequences where each term decreases by a fixed amount from the previous term, and learners must determine the next term based on the identified pattern. The exercises present sequences in simple numerical forms, each followed by multiple-choice answers. This topic is designed to enhance understanding of arithmetic sequences and pattern recognition skills.
