Patterns for Algebraic Thinking

  • Number Cruncher -- Students can easily see patterns, using a two-column table and when they know the machine's rule, they can type it in and check their answer.

  • Function Machine -- Students must create their own tables to record inputs and output.

  • Shape Pan Balance -- uses a balance scale to compare the weights of different shapes.
