This comprehensive set includes 40 task cards designed to help 3rd-grade students master multiplication and division patterns through function machines (input-output tables). Each card displays a rule (either multiplication or division) and a table with four input numbers and their corresponding outputs—except one output is missing.

Students are required to:

• Identify the rule applied to the inputs (for example, multiply by 3 or divide by 4).
  
• Calculate the missing output based on the given rule.
  
  

This activity supports the development of students’ number sense, fluency with multiplication and division, and problem-solving skills. It is perfect for use in independent work, math centers, small groups, or whole-class review.

To support student engagement and assessment, the set also includes:

• Two student recording sheets to write their answers.
  
• An answer key to make checking work easy for teachers or for self-correction.
• Both color and black-and-white versions for flexible printing options (great for saving ink or adding visual interest)
