What Are Related Addition Facts?
Did you know addition facts can be grouped together like a family?
Related addition facts are different math sentences that use the same numbers. They help us see how numbers work together and make adding easier!
How to Find Related Facts
1️⃣ 1 Start with three numbers (like 2, 3, and 5)
2️⃣ 2 Mix them to make different addition sentences
3️⃣ 3 See how they're all connected!
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: The 2, 3, 5 Family
Can you find all the addition facts with these numbers?
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
5 = 2 + 3
5 = 3 + 2
Example 2: Build Your Own Fact Family
Choose numbers to make your own fact family:
4,5,9
7,2,9
6,3,9
Parent Tips 🌟
- Use household items: Show related facts with toys or snacks - "If you have 2 apples and I give you 3 more, you have 5. If you have 3 apples and I give you 2 more, you still have 5!"
- Play fact family games: Write numbers on index cards and have your child arrange them into different addition sentences.
- Connect to real life: Point out related facts in daily activities like setting the table or counting stairs.
