I'll solve this "Fact Families" worksheet for you. A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers, typically involving addition and subtraction. For each set of three numbers, I can create two addition and two subtraction equations.
Let me go through each pot one by one:
Pot 1: Numbers 5, 2, 7
- 5 + 2 = 7
- 2 + 5 = 7
- 7 - 5 = 2
- 7 - 2 = 5
Pot 2: Numbers 6, 4, 10
- 6 + 4 = 10
- 4 + 6 = 10
- 10 - 6 = 4
- 10 - 4 = 6
Pot 3: Numbers 8, 1, 9
- 8 + 1 = 9
- 1 + 8 = 9
- 9 - 8 = 1
- 9 - 1 = 8
Pot 4: Numbers 3, 5, 8
- 3 + 5 = 8
- 5 + 3 = 8
- 8 - 3 = 5
- 8 - 5 = 3
Pot 5: Numbers 4, 3, 7
- 4 + 3 = 7
- 3 + 4 = 7
- 7 - 4 = 3
- 7 - 3 = 4
Pot 6: Numbers 5, 4, 9
- 5 + 4 = 9
- 4 + 5 = 9
- 9 - 5 = 4
- 9 - 4 = 5
The solution to this worksheet is to fill in each blank line with these equations. Each set of three numbers forms a complete fact family where the two smaller numbers add up to the largest number, and you can create subtraction equations by taking one of the smaller numbers away from the largest to get the other smaller number.
