Fact Family Match Have students work with partners. Give each of the p a rtners a copy of the reproducible. Assign a number to each of the partners.

Ask the partners to check each other’s work. Have the partners cut out and color their houses.

Introducing Fact Families Tell the students that a collection of addition and subtraction facts is called a Fact Family. Show them that on the roof of each fact family house are the numbers needed for that fact family. Show them the addition and subtraction facts that are on the house. Point out that the same numbers are used in each fact. In the addition facts, the larger number is used in the last space as the total. In the subtraction facts, the larger number will be found first.

Fact Family Fill-In Give each student two copies of the blank fact family house. Encourage them to use the Fact Family Fill-In reproducibles to fill two different fact families. Have the students complete the fact families and color the houses.
