Teaching tips and what to try next

This works best for third graders who know most multiplication facts and are just starting division. Doing a fact family a day for a week can make division facts feel familiar quickly, because each one leans on a multiplication fact. Afterwards, try Division Facts 2-5 and Division Facts 6-9, or solve for unknowns in Missing Factors: Find the Unknown Number.

10 versions, each with its own answer key

Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet

A fact family is a group of three numbers that make two multiplication facts and two division facts. For example, 4, 7, and 28 make 4 × 7 = 28, 7 × 4 = 28, 28 ÷ 4 = 7, and 28 ÷ 7 = 4. Third graders who understand fact families can use the multiplication facts they know to solve division facts, which makes division much less scary. This third-grade worksheet gives six fact families to complete.

Each fact family is shown in a triangle, with the product at the top and the two factors at the bottom. Below each triangle are four blank fact frames, two for multiplication and two for division, and children fill in the numbers. The factors on the sheet go from 2 to 10, and the two factors in a family are always different, so every family has four different facts. The ten versions cover all thirty-six possible families before any family repeats.

How to use it: show your child that the biggest number, the product, always comes first in a division fact and last in a multiplication fact. Cover the top number of a triangle and ask, "What is 4 times 7?" Then cover a bottom number and ask, "28 divided by 4 is what?" An array of counters, four rows of seven, shows all four facts at once: four rows of seven, seven columns of four, and sharing 28 into equal groups.

The answer key lists all four facts for every family. This worksheet supports Common Core standards 3.OA.C.7 and 3.OA.B.6. Practice more with our Missing Factors: Find the Unknown Number worksheet and our Division Facts 2-5 worksheet.
