With six questions, differentiated three ways, this Year 6 2-Step Function Machines Varied Fluency resource is perfect for teaching your children how to find the input and output of different function machines with two steps. A handy answer sheet is included with the resource to make your marking as easy as possible.

The resource is designed to be used alongside your teaching input as individual work, but can also be used as partner or group work, or can even be sent out as homework; how you use it is up to you, but however you use it, it will make teaching this skill that much easier.

Developing: Questions to support finding inputs and outputs of function machines with whole numbers only.

Expected: Questions to support finding inputs and outputs using two-step function machines, using all four operations and where an input or output may be a decimal number or a negative number.

Greater Depth: Questions to support finding inputs and outputs using two-step function machines, using all four operations where an input or output may be decimal number, negative number, fraction or mixed number. Functions may include decimal numbers.
