Let’s solve this step by step.
We are playing a “Fact Family Spin Game.” The goal is to spin the wheel, get two numbers, multiply them, and then write all four related facts (two multiplication and two division) that go with those numbers — like a fact family.
The spinner has numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Since we can’t actually spin, let’s pick two numbers from the wheel to use as an example. Let’s choose
3 and
4.
Step 1: Multiply the two numbers.
→ 3 × 4 = 12
So our fact family will be based on 3, 4, and 12.
Step 2: Write the two multiplication facts.
→ 3 × 4 = 12
→ 4 × 3 = 12
Step 3: Write the two division facts.
→ 12 ÷ 3 = 4
→ 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Now, fill in the house:
Top circles (number bonds): Put 3, 4, and 12. Usually, the product (12) goes at the top, and the factors (3 and 4) go below it — but since there are three circles in the roof, you can put 12 in the top circle, and 3 and 4 in the bottom two circles of the roof.
Then in the house body:
First row: 3 × 4 = 12
Second row: 4 × 3 = 12
Third row: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Fourth row: 12 ÷ 4 = 3
That’s one complete fact family!
You could do this with any two numbers you spin — for example, if you spun 2 and 5:
2 × 5 = 10
5 × 2 = 10
10 ÷ 2 = 5
10 ÷ 5 = 2
Or if you spun 6 and 1:
6 × 1 = 6
1 × 6 = 6
6 ÷ 6 = 1
6 ÷ 1 = 6
Each time, you’re showing how multiplication and division are connected using the same three numbers.
Final Answer:
If you spin 3 and 4, your fact family is:
3 × 4 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
12 ÷ 3 = 4
12 ÷ 4 = 3
