About This Worksheet

This easy-level worksheet contains 12 problems designed for 5th Grade students practicing input-output tables. Easy worksheets use simpler numbers and straightforward problem types to build confidence and reinforce foundational skills.

Input-output tables are a student-friendly introduction to the concept of a function — one of the central ideas of all of mathematics. The habit of looking for a rule that always works, regardless of the input, is the beginning of algebraic reasoning.

  • Identify the rule relating input and output values in a table
  • Complete input-output tables for one- and two-step rules
  • Write the rule as an expression and use it to find values not in the table
  • Distinguish one-step from two-step function rules
  • Recognize input-output tables as an early form of functions
