Fact Families in Maths

3rd October 2019

Today in Maths we turned into great problem solvers.  Miss Hall set us the challenge of finding as many fact family calculations for the calculation 4+3=7.  We all put our thinking caps on, worked together and managed to find seven fact families.  We found:

3+4=7
7-4=3
7-3=4
7=3+4
7=4+3
4=7-3
3=7-4

We have been discussing the equals sign in calculations being like a 'balance' and how what is on one side needs to be same as the other.

Miss Hall has set us a challenge of finding as many fact family calculations as possible.  How many can you find for 6+2=8?
