[|Teaching Fact Families] another fun way to practice fact families OR discussing the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Fact Family Album Idea

"My students made a fact family album. I gave each student a pair of numbers. They found the third member of their fact family by adding the two together. I then gave the class this cloze passage:

**We are a fact family. There are three members in our family. Their names are 5, 4, and 9. We can do four things together -**-

5 + 4 = 9 4 + 5 = 9 9 - 5 = 4 9 - 5 = 4

They then illustrated their fact family. I did this on the writing paper that has the space at the top for illustrating."

Above are the Data Recording Sheets I developed for the teachers at our New Zealand school. They are used when recording the results of the new JAM (Junior Assessment in Mathematics). JAM is is in draft form for use in New Zealand at the moment.I hope that by putting the data recording sheets here I might save some New Zealand teachers some time! Lynne Thanks to Maryse Varaine for directing us to this interesting article.|

This article on the left is well worth downloading and reading. Deals with subitising and how essential it is. In this episode of By The Numbers, Michelle explains about subitizing, or visual recognition of numbers, and how important it is to help your kids with math. [] || media type="custom" key="13087968" Michelle and Renee talk some more about subitizing, and show a domino game parents can play with their children to help them with it. || This is the sheet I use in class as an independent activity for my yr 5-6 yr olds. Can use at 'Count all' or 'Count on' stages and good subitising practice.Kids enjoy it too! ||
