What is fact families?

A fact family is a group of related number facts made from the same three numbers, e.g. 3, 4 and 12 give 3 ร— 4 = 12, 4 ร— 3 = 12, 12 รท 3 = 4 and 12 รท 4 = 3. It shows how multiplication and division (or addition and subtraction) are linked.

How to teach it

Show that three numbers make four related facts (two + and two -, or two ร— and two รท) using a part-part-whole diagram or a triangle card.

Worked example

Write the fact family for 6, 5 and 30:
Answer: 6ร—5=30, 5ร—6=30, 30รท6=5, 30รท5=6

Common mistake

Not seeing subtraction/division as the inverse, so children re-count instead of using the known addition/multiplication fact.
