Fact Families: Addition and Subtraction Partners

Use the same numbers to make addition and subtraction facts

Math - Grade K-1

Instructions: Read each problem carefully. Use the numbers to make related addition and subtraction facts. Show your work in the space provided.
  1. 1

    Use the numbers 2, 3, and 5. Write two addition facts.

    The two smaller numbers join together to make the bigger number.

    The two addition facts are 2 + 3 = 5 and 3 + 2 = 5.
  2. 2

    Use the numbers 2, 3, and 5. Write two subtraction facts.

    The two subtraction facts are 5 - 2 = 3 and 5 - 3 = 2.
  3. 3

    Fill in the missing number: 4 + 1 = __.

    Start at 4 and count one more.

    The missing number is 5 because 4 and 1 more make 5.
  4. 4

    Fill in the missing number: 5 - 1 = __.

    The missing number is 4 because taking 1 away from 5 leaves 4.
  5. 5

    Use the fact 6 + 2 = 8. Write a subtraction fact with the same three numbers.

    Start with the total, 8, when you write a subtraction fact.

    One related subtraction fact is 8 - 6 = 2. Another correct answer is 8 - 2 = 6.
  6. 6

    Look at this fact family: 1 + 7 = 8, 7 + 1 = 8, 8 - 1 = 7, 8 - 7 = __. Fill in the missing number.

    The missing number is 1 because 8 - 7 = 1.
  7. 7

    Use the numbers 3, 4, and 7. Write the whole fact family.

    Write two addition facts and two subtraction facts.

    The fact family is 3 + 4 = 7, 4 + 3 = 7, 7 - 3 = 4, and 7 - 4 = 3.
  8. 8

    Which three numbers make a fact family? Circle the set: 2, 5, 7 or 2, 5, 8.

    Add the two smaller numbers. They should equal the biggest number.

    The set 2, 5, 7 makes a fact family because 2 + 5 = 7.
  9. 9

    Fill in the missing number: __ + 2 = 6.

    The missing number is 4 because 4 + 2 = 6.
  10. 10

    Fill in the missing number: 6 - __ = 2.

    Think about the related addition fact: 4 + 2 = 6.

    The missing number is 4 because 6 - 4 = 2.
  11. 11

    Use the numbers 0, 5, and 5. Write two addition facts.

    The two addition facts are 0 + 5 = 5 and 5 + 0 = 5.
  12. 12

    Use the numbers 0, 5, and 5. Write two subtraction facts.

    Subtracting zero keeps the number the same.

    The two subtraction facts are 5 - 0 = 5 and 5 - 5 = 0.
  13. 13

    There are 3 ducks in a pond and 3 ducks on the grass. There are 6 ducks in all. Write one addition fact and one subtraction fact.

    One addition fact is 3 + 3 = 6. One subtraction fact is 6 - 3 = 3.
  14. 14

    Use the numbers 4, 5, and 9. Fill in the missing facts: 4 + 5 = 9, 5 + 4 = 9, 9 - 4 = __, 9 - 5 = __.

    Subtraction facts use the same three numbers as the addition facts.

    The missing facts are 9 - 4 = 5 and 9 - 5 = 4.
  15. 15

    Make a fact family with 1, 8, and 9. Write all four facts.

    The fact family is 1 + 8 = 9, 8 + 1 = 9, 9 - 1 = 8, and 9 - 8 = 1.
