Fact Families...We Are Family!



Fact families are always fun to teach, but just to make the fun factor blast off the chart (for me anyway) I made an Anchor Chart for Fact Families.  I also saw a very cool idea from another teachers blog (I apologize...I can't remember which one) where you create a worksheet to represent 3 members of a family and how you manipulate the three numbers using the general rule P+P=W and W-P=P. 
HERE is an example of the worksheet!


When discussing fact families we had the obligatory discussion about how each number is a member of the family and they don't change, yada yada yada.  We then filled in the circle 'faces' with a number to represent the mom, dad and child.
