Input/Output Tables
Input/Output Tables
Objectives
Students will work with input/output tables. Students will:
- find the rule for an input/output table.
- use the rule to find the missing elements in the table.
Essential Questions
How can data be organized and represented to provide insight into the relationship between quantities?
How can mathematics support effective communication?
How can patterns be used to describe relationships in mathematical situations?
How can probability and data analysis be used to make predictions?
How can recognizing repetition or regularity assist in solving problems more efficiently?
How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?

Vocabulary
- Factor: The number or variable multiplied in a multiplication expression.
- Function: A relation in which each value of an independent variable is associated with a unique value of the dependent variable.
- Multiple: A number that is the product of a given integer and another integer (e.g., 6 and 9 are multiples of 3).
- Patterns: Regularities in situations such as those in nature, events, shapes, designs and sets of numbers (e.g., spirals on pineapples, geometric designs in quilts, the number sequence 3, 6, 9, 12, . . .).
