A fact family is when you use three numbers
To put together or take away.
No matter if you add or subtract, the same three numbers stay.
In a fact family!

1 + 2 is 3 and 2 + 1 is 3. 3 – 1 is 2 and 3 - 2 is 1.
That’s fun! Here’s another.
3 + 1 is 4 and 1 + 3 is 4. 4 – 3 is 1 and 4 – 1 is 3. In a fact family,

When you add numbers together, the answer is the same
Doesn’t matter which is first,
A turn-around fact is its name, in a fact family.
3 + 2 is 5 and 2 + 3 is 5. 4 + 2 is 6. 2 + 4 is 6. We’ll do some more.
8 + 1 is 9. 1 + 8 is 9. 6 + 4 is 10 and 4 + 6 is 10. In a fact family,

When you take the numbers in the family, to add or subtract
5 + 3 is 8; 8 - 5 is 3. Now that’s a related fact, in a fact family.
5 + 1 is 6 and 6 - 1 is 5. 6 + 2 is 8 and 8 - 2 is 6. Some more related facts.
9 + 1 is 10 and 10 – 9 is 1. 3 + 6 is 9 and 9 - 6 is 3.

In a fact family when you use three numbers
To put together or take away.
No matter if you add or subtract, the same three numbers stay.
In a fact family! It’s all relative!
