About these worksheets

Function machine worksheets develop input-output reasoning skills. Students figure out the rule a function machine uses — whether addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or a two-step operation — by analyzing input-output pairs, then apply the rule to find missing values. Resources span third through sixth grade.

Determining Function Machine Rule (+ or -) (MC)

3oa9

• Figure out what number is being added or subtracted to turn each input into the output.
• Use a few input-output examples to spot a consistent pattern and name the rule.
• Check that the same rule works for every pair in the table before choosing an answer.
• Tell the difference between an “add” rule and a “subtract” rule by comparing inputs and outputs.
