Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Reads f(3) as f × 3.

    Correction: f(3) means 'put 3 into the rule'.

  • Reverses operations in the wrong order for the inverse.

    Correction: Undo the last step first.

Teacher tips

  • · Use function machines before notation.

Parent tips

  • · Play 'guess my rule' with numbers.

Real-life applications

  • · Converting temperatures, phone-plan costs.
