ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

The sequence 2, 6, 12, 20, and so on follows a pattern. Determine the algebraic expression that represents this pattern. Then, use this expression to predict the next two terms in the sequence. Explain your solution in clear and simple terms.
