Introducing Fact Families (1)
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
This worksheet introduces the concept of fact families to help students understand the relationship between multiplication and division. Designed for students in years 3 and 4.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognise and complete fact families.
- Understand the link between multiplication and division.
- Strengthen problem-solving skills by using fact families to solve related multiplication and division equations.
How the Activity Works:
Students are provided with fact families, either in the form of a MAD (Multiplication And Division) triangle or as multiplication and division equations. They complete the fact family by writing the missing numbers in each equation. For example, given 5x3=15, students must also complete 3x5=15, 15÷5=3, and 15÷3=5. This activity reinforces the inverse relationship between multiplication and division while helping students strengthen their overall arithmetic skills.
