Worksheet 2: Functions as Machines
In this algebra worksheet, students read about the concept of functions and how to apply them. Then they fill in the graphic organizer with the right type of functions.
Curated OER
Composition of Functions
Students solve composition of functions. In this algebra lesson, students find the sum, difference and product of functions. They find the inverse of a function.
Curated OER
Relation Machines: Function
In this relation machine learning exercise, students input given values into a function to determine the y-value answer. They identify functions. This two-page learning exercise contains four multi-step problems.
Curated OER
Function-al Machines and Spaghetti Graphs
Sixth graders identify the relationship between patterns and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, 6th graders use a "Functional Machine" to identify the rule. Students use a function table to plot the points using play...
Curated OER
Reviewing Functions
In this function worksheet, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.
Curated OER
Linear Functions
Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.
Curated OER
Applications of Quadratic Functions
In this math activity, students investigate the quadratic functions. They solve the word problems while writing the new algebra expressions.
Curated OER
Function Tables
Fourth graders explore the concept of function tables. In this function tables lesson, 4th graders compare the star machine in The Sneeches to function tables in math. Students practice creating and solving function tables.
Curated OER
What's My Rule? Simple Linear Functions
Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.
Curated OER
Function Machine
Second graders decipher a pattern using input and output. In this functions activity, 2nd graders use input and output numbers to find a pattern involving addition and subtraction. Students use the pattern they discovered to help solve...
Curated OER
The Function Box
Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...
Curated OER
Applications Of Rational Functions
Learners engage in a lesson that is about relational functions with the application of methods to real life problem situations. They use the examples found in the lesson for the purpose of practice during guided instruction. Students can...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
Introduce your young math scholars to functions. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, consider projecting this and covering it up until you hear the class responses. They observe a rule (in this case to add 15) and...

Growing Patterns: Practical Pattern Problems
Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and describe with a...
Curated OER
Prism Investigation (3)
For this prism investigation worksheet, students complete a table telling the shapes at the end of prisms, the number of sides at each end, and the number of edges and complete the pattern of a function machine. Students write eight...
Curated OER
Introduction To Functions
Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.
Curated OER
Function Tables
Students identify function using tables of data. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.
Curated OER
Algebra
Learners practice using a function machine online to help them with functions. They examine the relationship between input and output. They discover the rule for the change when completing these types of problems.
Curated OER
Doubles
These dragons work as math machines as scholars multiply numbers using given functions, which remain the same for these: double it. Using an example as their guide, learners double three whole numbers, none of which exceed 11, for each...
Curated OER
TRIANGULATEERS IN THE REAL WORLD
Students explore about triangles and the simple machines that are made from those triangles. They are able to identify the kinds of triangles in the machines, tell how the triangular shapes make the machines function, and build a simple...
Curated OER
What's My Function?
Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.
