Input Output Tables Teacher Resources

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 24 different problems that include completing input/output tables and graphing the pairs. First, they find the missing values for each table and write the rule for x. Then, students write the...

Examine the relationship between the input and output variables in a table of values. As learners build an input-output table using online manipulatives, they begin to identify patterns. They answer questions about these patterns and...

How does changing a graph affect the function? Learners watch the changing input-output table as they adjust the location of the line graph. Questions prompt them to complete a table of values and determine the function rule.

Your Algebra learners will appreciate this fabulous, two-page printable. The first page has a list of numbers that lead to the learners writing an equation in a cloud that represents these numbers, and then filling in a table, and...

Create a table of values based on a given linear equation. Input, output, function. Watch this video and learn how to set up a table to get coordinate points to make a graph of an equation. Make a column of selected x-values. Make a...

This is the ticket to learning about function rules! Using online manipulatives, scholars build a table of values and then answer questions about the related function. They examine the relationship between the input and output values and...

What does a linear equation look like in a table? A video lesson practices graphing linear equations by making an input-output table. The instructor emphasizes the pattern in the table and relates that to the graph of the function.

Work smarter, not harder! Learn a function of the calculator that assists with creating a table of values. The calculator does the work of substituting values and finding the input-output pairs.

Time to move on to nonlinear functions. Scholars create input/output tables and use these to graph simple nonlinear functions. They calculate rates of change to distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions.

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

What's the rule that makes it true?  A virtual function machine generates output values as learners submit the input values. Their job is to analyze the inputs and outputs for a pattern and write a function rule.

Make the abstract a bit more concrete with an interactive that asks learners to slide an input value through a function to determine the output. Changing the slope and y-intercept allows them to see the how the output values change.

Watch as a function machine converts an input to an output. Learners determine the work applied by the function machine to write a function rule. Questions accompany the function machine animation to guide individuals to conclusions.

Challenge your classes to find the pattern of a double function machine. After recording the outputs of both machines, learners identify the pattern and the corresponding function. Both patterns involve adding/subtracting a constant.

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

Machines can be so helpful sometimes. A simple interactive has learners enter input values for a function machine and observe output values. These values help determine a function that represents the input-output relationship in the...

Don't table the video. Using a pattern found in a table of values, pupils write equations to represent the relationship between the inputs and outputs before creating graphs to verify their results. They view the process and hone their...

Discover the different depictions of linear equations with an instructional video that gives an example of writing an equation from a table of values. It also shows how to graph equations on a graphing calculator, including how to...

By watching an informative video, young mathematicians learn how to write an equation from a table. In this case, the underlying equation is no longer linear, but rather it is quadratic.
