Key Concepts

  • Fact Families
  • Number Bonds
  • Addition
  • Subtraction

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to identify the numbers within a fact family.
  • Students will be able to write addition and subtraction equations using a given fact family.
  • Students will be able to use number bonds to show the relationship between numbers in a fact family.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they already know about addition and subtraction. Introduce the concept of a 'family' and how things in a family are related. Explain that today, they will learn about 'Fact Families' in math, where numbers are related through addition and subtraction.
  • Watch the Video (5 mins)
    Play the 'Fact Families Song | Addition & Subtraction with Number Bonds' video. Encourage students to sing along and pay attention to how the numbers are related.
  • Discussion (5 mins)
    After watching the video, discuss the examples shown. Ask students to identify the numbers in each fact family and how they are used in addition and subtraction equations. Use visual aids like whiteboards or charts to write down the equations.
  • Activity: Number Bond Practice (10 mins)
    Provide students with worksheets containing number bond templates. Give them sets of three numbers (fact families) and have them fill in the number bonds and write the related addition and subtraction equations. Example: Numbers 3, 5, and 8. Students fill in the number bond with 3 and 5 connecting to 8, and write 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 - 3 = 5, and 8 - 5 = 3.
  • Wrap-up (5 mins)
    Review the key concepts of fact families and number bonds. Ask students to share what they learned and how they can use fact families to help them with addition and subtraction. Preview for the students that they will continue learning about fact families.

Interactive Exercises

  • Fact Family Matching Game
    Create cards with sets of three numbers (fact families) and cards with addition and subtraction equations. Have students match the number sets to the correct equations.
  • Number Bond Creation
    Provide students with manipulatives (e.g., counters, blocks) and ask them to create number bonds for different fact families. For example, give them 7 counters and ask them to show how it can be split into 3 and 4.

Discussion Questions

  • What is a fact family?
