Shodor Interactivate: Linear Functions

What goes in must come out! Learners play with a function machine to determine the correct function. They enter input values and watch as the machine produces the output.

Students investigate linear relationships. The resource includes the activity and instructor resources.

Young scholars will graph input/output pairs from a simple linear function in order to gain an understanding of basic linear functions.

The interactive activity has students explore positive linear functions by looking for patterns in the outputs to determine the function. The activity and teacher resources are included.

In this lesson, students learn about linear functions and how they can be represented as rules and data tables. Includes a worksheet with exploration questions to accompany an interactive Linear Function Machine. The lesson plan is...

Students explore simple linear functions. The resource includes the activity and instructor resources.

The interactive activity has students explore simple linear functions by looking for patterns in the outputs to determine the function. The activity and teacher resources are included.

The interactive activity has students explore simple linear functions involving whole numbers by looking for patterns in the outputs to determine the function. The activity and teacher resources are included.

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

An interactive "machine" allows you to see first hand how a function works. Enter several input values, receive the output values, and determine the algebraic function.
