Exploring Fact Families in Addition and Subtraction

The video tutorial introduces the concept of fact families, which involve three numbers that can form two addition and two subtraction problems. The teacher explains how to identify the largest number for addition and subtraction, using examples with numbers 6, 2, and 4. The lesson includes a class activity where students create their own fact family problems using the number 12. The tutorial concludes with instructions for students to post their solutions on a shared platform for class review.

What are fact families?

• A group of four numbers that can be added or subtracted.

• A group of three numbers that can be multiplied or divided.

• A group of four numbers that can be multiplied or divided.

• A group of three numbers that can be added or subtracted.

In a fact family, what is the sum in an addition problem?

• Any number

• The largest number

• The middle number

• The smallest number

If you have the numbers 6, 2, and 4, which of the following is a correct addition problem?

• 2 + 6 = 4

• 4 + 6 = 2

• 2 + 4 = 6

• 6 + 2 = 4

In a fact family, where does the largest number appear in a subtraction problem?

• In the middle

• At the beginning

• It doesn't appear

• At the end

If you have the numbers 6, 2, and 4, which of the following is a correct subtraction problem?

• 4 - 2 = 6

• 6 - 4 = 2

• 6 - 2 = 4

• 2 - 6 = 4

What is the relationship between addition and subtraction in fact families?

• They are the same

• They use different numbers

• They are unrelated

• They are opposites

What should you do after completing the in-class worksheet on fact families?

• Post a problem on Padlet

• Submit it to the teacher

• Take a break

• Discuss with a partner

When creating a problem on Padlet, what number must be included?
