Description
“Function machines” are an excellent, tried-and-true method for introducing inputs and outputs and the concept of functions to students.
Enclosed in this resource is:
- 6 pages of worksheets with 24 total functions and input-output tables, as well as tables that require “backwards” thinking to find an input.
- Increasing difficulty allowing for differentiated instruction.
- Examples that include:
- one-step linear functions with whole numbers;
- one-step linear functions with decimals;
- one-step linear functions with percentages;
- one-step linear functions with fractions;
- one-step quadratic functions with x^2;
- two-step linear functions;
- three-step quadratic function;
- missing function rules.
- Answer key
- Definition
- Large example for display on SmartBoard or projector
- Sample Guess My Function activity
- Two additional examples with Input-Output tables
- Empty Function Machine for your use

Nice simple visual
Met expectations
Great value
Standards-aligned
Love this visual to explain functions. Works great!
I used this with the Function Machines from TPT and they worked really well together!

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS8.F.A.1
Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
CCSS8.F.A.2
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
