Fact Family Houses, Multiplication and Division

Have your child cover one corner of a fact triangle and say the fact that finds it. Check with the answer key.

Write 2 multiplication and 2 division facts in each of 4 fact family houses, like the house for 8, 9 and 72. A fact family is the multiplication and division facts made from the same three numbers, like 5 × 7 = 35 and 35 ÷ 7 = 5. The directions on the page read: Read the three numbers in each roof. Then, write the four facts of the family in the house: two multiplication and two division facts. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with multiplication and division fact families. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

A fact family is the group of facts made from the same three numbers. For 3, 7 and 21 they are 3 times 7, 7 times 3, 21 divided by 3 and 21 divided by 7, so knowing one fact gives the other three.

The top number is the product of the two numbers below it. In a bond of 40 with 5 and 8, the facts are 5 times 8, 8 times 5, 40 divided by 5 and 40 divided by 8.

Write all four facts from one set of three numbers as a warm-up, or cover one corner of a fact triangle and say the fact that finds it. Each family reviews multiplication and division at the same time.

Yes. All 10 sheets have an answer key.

Third graders learn that division means splitting into equal groups or finding how many groups. Per CCSS 3.OA.A.2, they should interpret whole-number quotients and solve division word problems within 100. They should understand division as the inverse of multiplication.

Start with sharing equally: give 12 items to 3 people, how many does each get? Use concrete objects, then pictures, then equations. Worksheets with visual division (circling equal groups) bridge the concrete-to-abstract gap effectively.

Fluent means a fact comes quickly and correctly without counting. The two minute drills hold 30 or 36 facts, and Division Fact Fluency Check, 40 Facts lists each missed fact to practice. CCSS 3.OA.C.7 expects fluency within 100 by the end of 3rd grade.
