Input-Output Tables Practice for a Coordinate Planes Unit
Our Input – Output Tables and Graphing Task Cards make a great addition to your coordinate planes unit. This resource helps your students master coordinate graphing standards by reviewing how to read, interpret, and graph points from input-output tables. Students can demonstrate their knowledge in all areas of the standard with this activity.
This resource includes:
- 20 task cards
- Recording sheets
- Answer keys
- Instructions
This input – output tables activity is a great addition to centers but would also work well for fast finishers, independent practice, or as a “scoot” activity.
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
If there are students who need a bit of support, encourage them to reference previous assignments, posters, or anchor charts to assist them with this activity. Additionally, students can complete this activity in a 1-on-1 or small group setting.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For students who need a bit of a challenge, have students create a “How to” guide or comic strip explaining how to graph on the coordinate plane.
🛴 Scoot Activity
Place the cards around the room in numerical order and give each student a recording sheet. Assign students or pairs to a starting point card. Give students time to review the card and record their answers in the corresponding space on their paper. Students will rotate to the next card when you say, “SCOOT!” Continue in this manner until students return to their starting point.
👋 Exit Ticket
Use these cards as a formative assessment after your lesson. Pick a random assortment of cards and project them on the board for the whole class to see. Students can record their answers on a sheet of paper, sticky note, or their notebook.
Easily Print and Prep!
Use the dropdown icon on the Download button to choose among the color PDF, the color Google Slides, or the black-and-white Google Slides version of this resource.
Print on cardstock for added durability and longevity. To keep the task cards out of pockets or from under desks, punch a hole in the corner of each to place them on a binder ring.
Sustainability Tip: Print a few recording sheets on cardstock and slip them into dry-erase sleeves. Students can record their answers with a whiteboard marker, then erase and reuse them.
