Fact Families

All this week we have been building Fact Family Houses.  Ask your child what a Fact Family House is and have him/her make some on scratch paper or a white board.  Do not go higher than 20 for a challenge but for most up to 15 is great. The concept is simple.  The family lives under one roof and switches spots at the dinner table.  The same family lives together.  Have your child make some Fact Family Houses on scratch paper and turn in for homework credit.
For example:  5 + 6 = 11; 6 + 5 = 11; 11 - 5 = 6; 11 - 6 = 5.  I used boxes for missing numbers and let the children figure out what numbers were missing and had them fill in the blank.
Have fun!
