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.

About these worksheets

These worksheets ask students to identify the missing element in a visual repeating pattern. Students analyze shapes, colors, or pictures that follow a predictable sequence and determine which item completes the pattern. This builds logical reasoning and observation skills.
