Introducing Fact Families
Tell the students that a collection of addition and
subtraction facts is called a Fact Family. Show them
that on the roof of each fact family house are the
numbers needed for that fact family. Show them the
addition and subtraction facts that are on the house.
Point out that the same numbers are used in each fact.
In the addition facts, the larger number is used in the
last space as the total. In the subtraction facts, the
larger number will be found first.
Fact Family Match
Have students work with partners. Give each of the
p a rtners a copy of the reproducible. Assign a number to
each of the partners. Have them cut out the bird with that
number and paste it in the outline on the roof. Have them
complete the fact family using the Fact Families product
as their guide. Ask the partners to check each other’s work.
Have the partners cut out and color their houses.
Fact Family Fill-In
Give each student two copies of the blank fact family
house. Encourage them to use the Fact Family Fill-In
reproducibles to fill two different fact families. Have the
students complete the fact families and color the houses.
