<p>This is a lesson on function machines which includes a powerpoint, workbook and treasure hunt. Objectives include finding outputs of function machines, inputs of function machines(using inverse operations), operations and creating expressions using function machines.</p> <p>This is a time saving resource for busy teachers. You should be able to teach a lesson with hardly any preparation (mainly printing).</p> <p>Fully differentiated objectives:</p> <p>Blue: Find the output of a function machine<br /> Gold:Use inverse operations to find the input of a function machine<br /> Red:Find the operations of a function machine<br /> Challenge (Purple): Use function machines to create expressions</p> <p>This resource includes:<br /> • A PowerPoint<br /> • A differentiated Work booklet that includes self-assessment sections<br /> •A treasure hunt for using inverse operations to find the input of a function machine<br /> • Full answers</p> <p>The PowerPoint includes the following format:<br /> • Objective and levels<br /> • A “how to teaching portion” with animated examples<br /> •A miniwhiteboard AFL check<br /> •Answers to the booklet questions<br /> • Plenary (with answers)</p> <p>You can input your own grades to reflect your own schools assessment criteria. In the word booklet (in the first table) if you input a grade (e.g the blue section) it should automatically change the rest of that colour into the same grade.</p> <p>This will take up a whole lesson at least.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=694668&amp;q=function%20machines&amp;shop=MissEHoney">Click Here</a> for more function machines resources.

<p>A set of function machines worksheets. Skills covered are finding the output of a function machine, finding the input of a function machine using the inverse operations, finding the operations of a function machine and writing an expression from a function machine. There are approximately 34 questions per difficulty in these worksheets. Each topic is colour coded by difficulty. Full solutions included in the same format as the questions to make it easier to mark!</p> <p>Difficulties include<br /> ★ Blue (easy) Finding the output of a function machine with 2 operations<br /> ★ Gold (medium) - Finding the input of a function machine by using inverse operations<br /> ★ Red (Hard) Finding the operations of a function machine<br /> ★ Purple (challenge) - - Writing the algebraic expression from a function machine</p> <p>See <a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=694668&amp;q=function%20machines&amp;shop=MissEHoney">here</a> for more function machines resources, including lessons, worksheets and treasure hunts.</p>

<p>A fun 10 card treasure hunts for a function machines lesson. Skills covered are: finding the operations of a function machine when given the input and the output. Student record card and solutions included. Use as a starter for a lesson on solving equations or as AFL/ a plenary for a lesson on function machines.</p> <p>Difficulties include:<br /> ★ Red (Hard) Finding the operations of a function machine with 1/2 operations (No clues)<br /> ★ The same treasure hunt by with some of the operations already given (only the signs, no numbers)</p> <p>Students need to start on any random card and note down the letter on their recording card (first page). They answer the question on that card then find another card that has the answer on (they then note down that letter and so on).</p> <p>Suggestions for use:<br /> ★Print them off on A4 and scatter them around the room (students love getting out of their seats!)<br /> ★Print the cards off 4 to a page and give them to students individually to do on their desk</p> <p>See <a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=694668&amp;q=function%20machines&amp;shop=MissEHoney">here</a> for more function machines resources, including lessons and other treasure hunts.</p>
