Students need to learn the various ways to describe Functions: a table, a graph, a formula:  

1.) Students can use a T-table to record the functional relationship between a wagon and its number of wheels, so that a table is devised. 

2.) Students then translate the data from the T-table to a graph. With a large enough graph, students can begin predicting how many wheels a certain number of wagons would have. They can realize that through multiplication or repeated addition, they can determine the number of wheels of any number of wagons. 

3.) Some will conclude that a formula can be written. For the four wheeled wagon, the formula would be 4 times the number of wagons = the total number of wheels or 4x Wagons = Wheels. 

1.) Students draw from a set of teacher-made cards that show objects with specific characteristics, such as spiders with eight legs, airplanes with two wings, stools with three legs, wagons with four wheels. They use the card drawn as the basis for a T-table to show the relationship of the object to the number of specified characteristics.  

2.) Students are able to take data displayed in a table, graph or formula and translate it into another form. They can make a graph from a T-table or formula; they can make a table from a formula or a graph; and they can generate a formula from a T-table or a graph.
