The above link is a great way to experiment with planets!

Input Output

Today we practiced our Input Output tables.
Here's the TEK:

 4.5.B - represent problems using an input-output table and numerical expressions to generate a number pattern that follows a given rule representing the relationship of the values in the resulting sequence and their position in the sequence;

My favorite way to teach input output tables is by putting them on the board and having kids go up one by one to fill it out.
Look at that thoughtful face!!
