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

Mixed Operations Input-Output Tables Task Cards - Rules in Function Tables
These input/output task cards give students the opportunity to identify rules or patterns using any operation. With single step rules, students identify relationships between numbers to find the number pattern. In these task cards, students don't have to complete any missing values - just identify the rule or pattern that fits the data table, writing a one-step expression or equation. Input/Output tables help students work with patterns and relationships between numbers. With these task cards, s

Identifying Functions Card Sort Activity
Languages: Both Spanish and English versions included. Students analyze relations presented as mappings, coordinate points, tables, and graphs to determine whether each relation is a function. Through task cards, students justify their reasoning by identifying whether each input is paired with exactly one output, strengthening conceptual understanding of functions across multiple representations. Identifying functions involves mapping unique input values to distinct output values, similar to rec

Function Machine Task Card Activity | Printable
Make function composition fun and interactive with this hands-on math activity! In this Function Composition Task Card Challenge, students receive 4 function cards and must arrange them in the correct order so that: 1. The input value goes into the first function. 2. The output of that function becomes the input for the second function. 3. They continue the process until they reach the final output. The goal? Figure out the correct sequence of functions so the starting input matches the given

Comparing Linear Functions Written in Different Forms
This resource includes 12 linear graphs, 12 linear equations written in slope-intercept form, 12 verbal descriptions, and 12 linear tables. The teacher prints each type of representation on different colored paper, and students choose any two cards. Using the table, students compare 10 sets of card, calculating the rate of change and y-intercept on each. They determine which has the larger rate of change and y-intercept, then return the cards to pick another set. An answer key is not includ

Linear Equations Tile Pattern Match
Go from concrete to abstract by connecting tile patterns to linear functions and word problems. This activity can be done once students have been introduced to y-intercepts. Students must connect the equation for the tile pattern to the matching equation for the real-world situation. Encourage movement and academic discourse while connecting patterns and algebraic thinking. This activity can also be used to explore arithmetic sequences.

Algebraic Equations Algebra Task Cards Beginner Common Core 7.EE.1
This is a set of task cards (48) designed to be used with students learning how to combine like terms to solve for variables. It contains 2 sets of 24 cards at the beginner level. One set is created with the shapes to represent the variables and boxes with numbers in them to represent the other terms. The second set contains the same equations, but they are represented numerically. This allow differentiation for kids who are more comfortable with the numeric equations.
