Both yesterday and today's lessons were about fact families. We have looked at fact families using both domino pictures and fact triangles.
A fact family is the 3 numbers that are related and go together to create basic addition and subtraction facts.
For example: 3, 5, 8 are a fact family
3 + 5 = 8 5 + 3 = 8
8 - 5 = 3 8 - 3 = 5
For example: 2, 2, 4 are a fact family
2 + 2 = 4
4 - 2 = 2
Tonight the children got 6 fact triangles. Rather than cut them out, I asked the children to write the facts that go with each fact family represented by a triangle.
There are 6 fact triangles. 3 are doubles facts and the other 3 are not. Fact families for doubles make two facts (an addition and subtraction). All other fact families have four facts (two addition and two subtraction).
