Integer Multiplication, Division, and Other Properties

Section 5.2

Function Machine Students enter an input value (x) to the applet and use the corresponding output value ( y = f[x] ) to determine the form of simple algebraic functions. Discussion can focus on the different effects of negative and positive integer input.
Linear Function Machine Students enter an input value (x) to the applet and use the corresponding output value ( y = f[x] ) to determine the slope and intercept of linear functions. Discussion can focus on the different effects of negative and positive integer input as well as the effects of negative slope and intercept values.
Sequencer Students input integer parameters (starting number, multiplier, addend) to generate number patterns in arithmetic and geometric sequences. Discussion can focus on the different effects of negative and positive integer multipliers.
