The video tutorial introduces fourth-graders to the concepts of sequences and patterns, explaining the difference between terms in a sequence and how to identify the next terms. It provides examples of numerical sequences and visual patterns, demonstrating how to calculate differences and predict subsequent terms. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is a sequence?

• A list of numbers following a certain rule

• A random collection of numbers

• A list of letters

• A set of unrelated pictures
