Lesson 2: Solving 2-step input/output functions

Students will practice solving problems by passing inputs through a sequence of two operations. Students may also find the inputs, when given only the outputs using inverse operations and problem-solving skills. Students will develop a deeper understanding of sequential operations and problem-solving by exploring 2-step function machines.

Lesson 1: Exploring input and outputs

Students will explore finding and using rules with input and output data pairs. They will identify patterns in the input and output values, which will help them discover of a consistent rule governing the function. Students will also apply rules and calculate the outputs for new inputs. They will play a game called What’s The […]

Lesson 4: Solving proportion problems

Students will explore the concept of proportion and apply their understanding to problem-solve by working out the total of shopping lists used at a bulk-buy store.

Lesson 3: Solving ratio problems

Students will apply their understanding of ratios to problem-solve during an activity that involves calculating how many exotic plants each botanist has found.
