What’s the Rule? TEACHERS: Jenene Woodruff SUBJECT: Input/Output Tables—Discovering Adapted from Hands-On Standards (Common Core) Operation Rules STANDARD: 4.OA.5 Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. OBJECTIVE (EXPLICIT): I can complete an input/output function table and identify the rule. EVIDENCE OF MASTERY (MEASURABLE): Completed Input/Output tables with function/rule stated. KEY VOCABULARY: Input, output, function rule MATERIALS: Centimeter Cubes ( at least 120 per pair/group) Input/Output Table (1 per pair/group) “Secret Numbers” clue cards Paper Pencils BEFORE ENGAGE (MAKE CONTENT AND LEARNING RELEVANT TO REAL LIFE AND CONNECT TO STUDENT INTEREST) “Every day, Mrs. Renfroe has “secet numbers of the day.” She gives her class clues. Today’s clue is an input/output table, and the “secret numbers of the day” are the two missing numbers in the table. How can the students find the missing numbers? TEACHER WILL: STUDENT WILL: Use the following clues to create an Discuss the model and clues with a Input/Output Table model for the partner or group to discover the rule process. (Use the actual Table and and the secret numbers. Centimeter Cubes for your Gather supplies for partner/group example.): work. Input 2 ? 4 5 Output 4 5 6 ? Ask students to discuss with a partner the possible answers for the “secret numbers” and what the function rule would be to accomplish the correct answers. Provide “Secret Numbers” clue cards to each pair/group CO-TEACHING STRATEGY IF APPLICABLE DURING TEACHER WILL: STUDENT WILL: Monitor groups for misconceptions Use “Secret Numbers” clue cards to or mathematical errors. complete a model using the centimeter cubes. Check for function rules as well as completed charts. Solve for the missing numbers and the function rule for each Guide groups that are struggling by input/output. reminding them of the four mathematical operations and the use of inverse operations. AFTER CO-TEACHING STRATEGY IF APPLICABLE TEACHER WILL: Have students share their resulting input/output charts, function rules, and any patterns or commonalities they found in the numbers. Have students complete the following problem: Which number completes the table? A. 25 B. 29 C. 30 D. 42 Input Output 4 24 5 ? 6 36 CO-TEACHING STRATEGY IF APPLICABLE STUDENT WILL: Communicate results of the activity, as well as reasoning/explanation for the function rule the group agreed upon for each input/output table. Complete the formative assessment problem.
