📚 Topic Summary
Input Output tables (also called Function Machines) help us understand how numbers change based on a specific rule. The "input" is the number you start with. The "rule" is what you do to that number (like adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing). The "output" is the number you get after applying the rule. By finding the rule, we can predict what the output will be for any input!
