What is the rule (or function) that gives the outputs corresponding to the inputs shown in the diagram mapping 1 to 8 and 3 to 24 etc?
The Function Game is played in silence. Learners have to guess the function in the teacher’s mind. The teacher tells the learners that she wants […]
The input to Function Machine 1 is x. Write down an expression for the output.
If the output is 7 what was the input?
In Function 2, a is constant. If the input is 4 what is the output?
The functions from Function Machines 1 & 2 are combined to give Function […]
(1) You are blindfolded. The audience tells you the number in Box B and you can immediately say the numbers in box C and box A.
How is this trick done?
Can you make the trick more impressive?
You can change the x 6 and + 5 to other operations and numbers […]
Number games that develop recognition and understanding of functions and inverse functions and the ability to create formulas.

Amy and her friends have built some functions and they are challenging each other to find the input when they know an output.
They think the inputs to their functions giving the output 10 are 5 for Amy’s function, 4 for Busi’s, for Chris’s and for Dudu’s. Do you agree? Why or […]
Amy and her friends have built some functions. If they all input the number 1 into their functions Amy’s output would be 6, Busi’s 1, Chris’s 6½ and Dudu’s 3½.
Build some of your own functions using the operations [subtract 2], [multiply by 3], [divide by 2] and [add […]
