Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Understanding Functions. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The Input and Output relationship in a function table can be expressed as a graph on a co-ordinate plane where (input, output) is equivalent to (x, y) where the input is the x value and the corresponding output is the y value.
Numbers in a function table prior to rule being applied are called the Inputs.
The operation/s that are applied to the input are called the Rule.
A Function is a Rule applied to inputs that yield exactly one output.
Numbers in a function table after the Rule is applied are called the Outputs.
There is exactly one output for every input.
A coordinate pair is an exact location on a Cartesian Grid.
A coordinate pair is expressed as an (x, y) coordinate in which the x value determines the location of a point along the x – axis or horizontal axis and the y value as the location of the point along the y – axis or vertical axis of a Cartesian Grid.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is a function? What are inputs and outputs for a function? What are the characteristics of linear functions?
After the Game
How does changing input affect the output of a function? What are some different ways you can recognize a non-linear function? If inputs are (x,y) = 4,6, what would the output of a function be for f(x,y) = -1x + 7y - 1?
