Practice Multiplication And Division Facts

Key Concepts

• Multiplication facts
• Division facts

It is a set of four related multiplication and division facts that use the same three numbers.

 For example: The fact family for 2, 6 and 12 is a set of four multiplication and division facts.

Two are multiplication facts, whereas the other two are division facts.

Multiplication facts:   2 x 6 = 12; 6 x 2 =12

Division facts: 12 ÷ 2 = 6; 12 ÷ 6 =2
