[|Game for identifying rule for function]- Called the "Silent Game". Described in[| this blog post]. A few inputs/outputs are given in the table. Other values (inputs or outputs) are given, with a blank. Students go up and enter in something they think is right and the program tells the student if its right or not. Culminates in a function to describe the rule. I think its all linear functions.

As an extension, students could create an additional question that could be answered by putting the numbers in different places. Source: [|Nathan Kraft]
