Learning Objectives

Students will fluently multiply and divide within 100, using the relationship between multiplication and division.

Activity Details

1. The teacher will need to project page 5 of the resource using an interactive whiteboard or document camera. The teacher will complete one fact family house. Depending on the needs of students, the teacher may choose to demonstrate additional fact families.

2. The teacher will give students a copy of page 5 of the resource (see the Variation Tips for a more challenging option). The students should complete their own fact family house. The teacher may allow students to work in partners or small groups or require that students complete the work independently. The teacher could assign each student/group a fact family or allow students to choose their own fact family to complete.

Assessment Strategies

The teacher should collect students' work after the activity and review it for accuracy.

Acceleration and Intervention

Variation Tips

To further challenge students, the teacher can copy page 7 of the resource which will require students to complete four multiplication and division fact family relationships.

To integrate art, the teacher could require students to decorate their fact family houses with patterns or illustrations.

Students' completed fact family worksheets could be used for instruction or review to display all of the fact families. This would be especially useful if the teacher assigned each student a different fact family and posted them all together to show the relationships between the multiplication and division equations.
