Understanding Functions and Patterns

Front

Growing pattern

Back

where each term increases by a rule

Front

Arithmetic pattern

Back

with constant difference between terms

Front

Geometric pattern

Back

with constant ratio between terms

Front

Function definition

Back

input has exactly one output

Front

Identifying function from graph

Back

line test: line crosses graph once per input

Front

Table representation of function

Back

input value paired with only one output

Front

Mapping diagram

Back

connect inputs to outputs; no input points to more than one output

Front

Non-function example (table)

Back

value paired with multiple outputs

Front

Linear pattern

Back

increases or decreases by same amount each step

Front

Nonlinear pattern

Back

changes by different amounts; not a straight line
