About this worksheet
"Fact Families: Multiplication and Division" is a comprehensive mathematical exercise that explores the relationship between multiplication and division operations. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Fact Families: Multiplication and Division, presents three sets of related numbers in triangle diagrams, helping students visualize the connections between numbers in fact families. The worksheet uses a clean, organized layout with color-coded triangles containing number sets (5, 45, 9), (2, 16, 8), and (6, 42, 7).
Each number triangle is accompanied by four equation blanks where students must write the corresponding multiplication and division facts. The visual representation through triangles helps students understand how the same three numbers can be used to create different but related mathematical statements. The worksheet's design encourages systematic thinking as students move from visual patterns to written equations, reinforcing the inverse relationship between multiplication and division.

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.2 Examples: If 6 _ 4 = 24 is known, then 4 _ 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 _ 5 _ 2 can be found by 3 _ 5 = 15, then 15 _ 2 = 30, or by 5 _ 2 = 10, then 3 _ 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 _ 5 = 40 and 8 _ 2 = 16, one can find 8 _ 7 as 8 _ (5 + 2) = (8 _ 5) + (8 _ 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 Ö 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 _ 5 = 40, one knows 40 Ö 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
