Mission 4 -- Meet Maynard the Hacker



The life of a Math Spy is never dull.  Just when you get the hang of the Mathalator and using function tables to decipher codes, someone comes along and messes you up.

Meet Maynard, the Hacker.  Col. Chaos may be in prison, but somehow he hired this criminal to create problems for the Math Spies.  For each function table this week, you need to find and fix the mistakes before you can figure out the messages.

If you haven't had experience with function tables or coded messages, start here.
If you need a blank function table to print out and use, start here.

When you are ready to begin this week's mission, start here.
