Multiplication and Division Fact Families

Front

What is a fact family?

Back

A fact family is a group of related math facts that use the same numbers. For example, the numbers 3, 4, and 12 can create the fact family: 3 x 4 = 12, 4 x 3 = 12, 12 ÷ 4 = 3, and 12 ÷ 3 = 4.

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation where a number is added to itself a certain number of times. For example, 3 x 4 means adding 3 four times: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12.

Front

What is division?

Back

Division is a mathematical operation that splits a number into equal parts. For example, 12 ÷ 4 means splitting 12 into 4 equal parts, which equals 3.

Front

How do multiplication and division relate to each other?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. This means that if you know a multiplication fact, you can find the related division fact. For example, if 3 x 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

What is the multiplication equation in the fact family for 27 ÷ 3 = 9?

Back

The multiplication equation is 9 x 3 = 27.

Front

What is the missing factor in the fact family for 4 x ? = 20?

Back

The missing factor is 5, because 4 x 5 = 20.

Front

Which equations belong to the same fact family as 4 x 3 = 12?

Back

The equations are 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 3 x 4 = 12.

Front

What is the relationship between the numbers in a fact family?

Back

The numbers in a fact family are related through multiplication and division. They can create multiple equations that show how the numbers interact.
