✨ What Are Fact Families?
A fact family is a group of related math facts that use the same numbers. For example, if you have the numbers 2, 4, and 6, you can make four related facts:
2 + 4 = 6
4 + 2 = 6
6 – 2 = 4
6 – 4 = 2
Fact families help children understand the relationship between addition and subtraction. When kids see how numbers connect, they build a stronger number sense and learn that subtraction is just “taking away” from addition.
Learning fact families makes it easier for children to:
✔️ Solve addition and subtraction problems faster
✔️ Notice patterns in numbers
✔️ Build confidence in mental math
When practicing fact families, kids learn that numbers work together in predictable ways — giving them a solid foundation for more advanced math skills later on.
