Common Questions about Year 7 Function Machines

  1. 1. Why do we use function machines?

    Function machines help us understand how numbers are related and introduce important algebraic ideas.

  2. 2. What are inputs and outputs?

    The input is the starting value that goes into the function machine, and the output is the result after the rule has been applied.

  3. 3. How do I find the rule of a function machine?

    Look at the relationship between the input and output values and identify the operation or sequence of operations that connects them.

Year 7 Function Machines Common Mistakes

  1. Common Mistake 1

    Mixing up the input and output values.

  2. Common Mistake 2

    Applying the inverse operation instead of the function machine rule.

  3. Common Mistake 3

    Finding a rule that works for one pair of values but not checking it works for all the values.
