+,-,×,÷ With Variables
- Figure out the rule that changes an input number into an output number.
- Choose which operation and number make the rule work for all the examples in a table.
These multiplication pattern and function machine worksheets help students identify mathematical rules and find missing numbers in multiplication sequences. Students practice recognizing multiplication patterns through various formats including multiple choice, variables, and pattern completion exercises.
Function machine worksheets develop input-output reasoning skills. Students figure out the rule a function machine uses — whether addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or a two-step operation — by analyzing input-output pairs, then apply the rule to find missing values. Resources span third through sixth grade.
These worksheets help students identify and describe pattern rules. Activities include spotting attributes in number patterns, creating patterns from given rules, writing equations from function machine data, and determining whether patterns use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Worksheets also include matching patterns and using tables to continue rules. Spanning fourth and fifth grade standards.
Students practice continuing number patterns by identifying the rule and predicting what comes next. Worksheets include patterns that increase or decrease by a constant amount, finding missing numbers in sequences, choosing the correct pattern from multiple options, and using a 100 chart to spot patterns. Aligned with fourth grade.
