Using Input-Output Tables
An input-output table organizes pairs of numbers that are related by a rule. The 'input' is the number you start with, and the 'output' is the result after applying the rule. We often use variables like x for the input and y for the output. An input-output table is a tool used to organize information and discover number patterns. Each row of the table shows a pair of numbers—an input and its corresponding output—that follow the same rule. By examining these pairs, you can determine the rule that connects the inputs to the outputs. This skill is part of Grade 6 math in Reveal Math, Course 1.
Key Concepts
Property An input output table organizes pairs of numbers that are related by a rule. The 'input' is the number you start with, and the 'output' is the result after applying the rule. We often use variables like x for the input and y for the output.
Examples This table shows the relationship where each output is 5 more than the input (Rule: y = x + 5). | Input (x) | Output (y) | | : : | : : | | 1 | 6 | | 2 | 7 | | 3 | 8 |.
This table shows a relationship where each output is 4 times the input (Rule: y = 4x). | Input (x) | Output (y) | | : : | : : | | 2 | 8 | | 5 | 20 | | 10 | 40 |.
Common Questions
What is Using Input-Output Tables?

Why is Using Input-Output Tables important in math?
An input-output table is a tool used to organize information and discover number patterns. Each row of the table shows a pair of numbers—an input and its corresponding output—that follow the same rule.
What grade level covers Using Input-Output Tables?
Using Input-Output Tables is a Grade 6 math topic covered in Reveal Math, Course 1 in Module 7: Relationships Between Two Variables. Students at this level study the concept as part of their grade-level standards and are expected to explain, analyze, and apply what they have learned.
What are the key rules for Using Input-Output Tables?
The 'input' is the number you start with, and the 'output' is the result after applying the rule. We often use variables like x for the input and y for the output..
How does Using Input-Output Tables connect to other math topics?
Each row of the table shows a pair of numbers—an input and its corresponding output—that follow the same rule. By examining these pairs, you can determine the rule that connects the inputs to the outputs..
