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 × 4 = 12, 4 × 3 = 12, 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 12 ÷ 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 × and two ÷) using a part-part-whole diagram or a triangle card.
Worked example
Common mistake
Not seeing subtraction/division as the inverse, so children re-count instead of using the known addition/multiplication fact.
