Fact Families

Fact families include inverse operations. This means two operations that

are opposite in effect. Addition and subttraction are inverse operations.

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Example:

3 + 4 = 7 3x7=21
4 + 3 = 7 7x3=21
7 - 4 = 3 21 ÷7=3
7 - 3 = 4 21 ÷3 =7

21/3 inverse is 3/21 ...(Inverse means opposite of...)

4 = (4/1) inverse is 1/4
