Instead of splitting them up on five different pages, we put all of the input/output tables on the Mixed Operations page even though some of them are only dealing with one operation at a time.
We included a few nice features in the input/output tables. Each individual table is color-coded according to the operation used in the rule. On an addition only page, all of the tables have a grey center column. On mixed operations pages, the center columns are various colors (grey for addition, orange for subtraction, blue for multiplication and yellow for division).Each input column includes a set of unique numbers, so there is no repetition.
We've also included a couple of versions of the worksheet where we've mixed up the blanks. Instead of only blanks in the output column, each table includes some blanks in both the input and output column. This may challenge a student to use a couple different strategies to complete each input/output table.
There are many other possibilities for input/output tables that we didn't include in this update, mainly because we like to hear from our users and produce math worksheets that they'll use. If you have a need for a specific type of input/output table, please let us know by commenting on or replying to this article. Perhaps you are a middle school teacher and need some tables with algebraic expressions as the rule, or maybe you'd like the input and output columns filled in, so the students have to find the rule. Perhaps you'd like to see integers or decimals. Don't be shy, let us know.If you are in the U.S. or Canada, we hope you are having a relaxing Labor/Labour Day!
