What is the formula of the successive difference method?

Is acceleration calculated by successive difference method?
a=(s6+s5+s4-s3-s2-s1)/(9T^2)
This is usually used. S1. S2. S3 S6 is 1.2.3 Displacement in 6 time intervals
But we must grasp the fundamental is △ s = at ^ 2. T is the time interval. Take 6 segments to ensure that the error is small
