Function Machines

Despite our shortened Monday, the 403 Scholars had a big day! Before winter break they began to create their function machines. Function machines are imaginary machines that process numbers according to a certain rule. A number (input) is put into the machine, undergoes the rule, and is transformed into a second number (output). The Scholars put some of the Carrboro Staff to the test to see if they could figure out their function machine rules!

Rosie and Shunte' show off their function machines as they prepare for our visitors.

Timmeya listens closely as Mrs. Bivins whispers the rule of her function machine.

Miss Fisher recalls her multiplication facts in order to figure out Pema's rule.

Mrs. Rohner checks out Caleb's input numbers.

Alexandre listens closely as Mrs. Sharpless tries to figure out his rule.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by to support the 403 Scholars!
