Input Output Tables Teacher Resources

Map the input to the output and see what pupils create. The video lesson provides an introduction to graphing quadratic functions using an input-output table. The instructor shows each step of the calculations when evaluating the function.

The world is full of patterns. Help learners quantify those patterns with mathematical representations. The first Algebra lesson in a compilation of four uses a series of activities to build the concept of patterns using multiple...

In this exploring function tables worksheet, 3rd graders take the input number, follow the rule at the top of the table and write the output number for six tables.

In this functions worksheet, learners complete a set of 4 function tables using a given rule, then answer a set of 3 additional related questions. Answers are included on page 2.

There are many ways to represent a function. The main idea though is that for every input there is an output. Watch this video as the instructor illustrates and explains several different ways to show a function. She demonstrates domain...

In this function tables learning exercise, learners analyze 6 different function tables to determine the rule that applies to each table. The data in the table involves 2 variables and the rule is either addition, subtraction,...

In this function tables practice worksheet, learners use their problem solving skills to solve 12 problems that require them to determine the rule followed in each of the function tables.

Provide your mathematicians with a way to organize their algebraic functions with this function machine handout. Each sheet provides a place to write down the rule and then either a t-table or full table to organize their input and output.

It's not magic, it's math! Observe as a collection of points becomes a line. Scholars watch as a video instructor creates a table of values to graph linear equations. Examples include equations in both slope-intercept and standard forms.

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

How does a quadratic function create its shape? Scholars examine the graphs of quadratic functions in an informative video lesson. By creating a table of values, learners see the patterns in the numbers that appear in the graph.

Math's gone viral—in the form of an exponential function! The activity uses an exponential function to model the growth of a marketing strategy. Learners create a table of values to observe the pattern in the numbers and then model the...

Fourth graders extend and continue numerical patterns using function or input/output machines. They finish the increasing patterns using input/output tables, and generalize the rules that apply to the pattern. They complete the...

What determines whether a function has an inverse? Learners investigate that criteria when they examine values in a partially completed input-output table for two different functions. The task is to complete the table so that one of the...

An interesting example of a discrete function and how it is applies to the real world. This could easily make a good collaborative lesson with an environmental science class. Practice reading a table and drawing a scatter plot make up...

Eighth graders investigate the input/output model for building function tables. From the data, 8th graders connect tables, graphs, function rules, and equations in one variable. They work backwards to determine function rules for given...

Formalize the notion of a function. Scholars continue their exploration of functions in the second lesson of the module. They consider functions as input-output machines and develop function rules for selected functions.

How can you compare linear functions? The seventh installment of a 12-part module teaches learners how to compare linear functions whose representations are given in different ways. They use real-world functions and interpret features in...

This interactive website provides a variety of lesson plans according to which standards you are applying and which textbook you use. Introduce functions to your class by having them construct single operation machines and create...

Students identify function using tables of data. In this algebra lesson, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Two for one—create an invertible and non-invertible function from the same data. The task presents a function table with missing outputs for the class to use to create two functions. One of the functions should have an inverse while the...

Consider the relationship between side length and area as an input-output function. Scholars create input-output tables for the area of squares to determine an equation in the first installment of a three-part unit. Ditto for the area of...

The teacher illustrates several ways to look at what the domain is in a set of numbers. Input, output, table, graphs, and diagrams are a few of the ways in which she illustrates the meaning of domain.
