Two Step Rules in Function Tables - Input Output Tables Task Cards
These input/output task cards give students the opportunity to identify two step rules or patterns using any operation. In these task cards, students don't have to complete any missing values - just identify the rule or pattern that fits the data table. But, the challenge is in the two step rules students need to identify! Input/Output tables help students work with patterns and relationships between numbers. With these task cards, students should start by identifying what they think the rule is
