Homework for 2-13


In Math today, we learned a method of counting numbers called the Function Machine. Here is a picture of it.

Imagine a machie with a funnel on the top an a tube at the bottom - we call this a function machine. When you drop a number into the funnel at the top, the machine changes the number according to the rule and a new number comes out.
This works two ways:

1. You have to find out the rule.
If the numbers are
In       Out
6          7
8           9

You can figure out that the rule is +1

Another is if the rule is already stated such as +10
            In        Out
20
55

You have to find out the correct numbers that is coming out.
