You can print this "make a fact family" mat onto white or coloured paper and laminate it for repeat use with dry wipe markers if you wish. Write 3 numbers on the children's T-shirts and then ask the children to write out the fact family in the spaces below. Use the model with manipulatives, or ask the kids to write the numbers in the circles, too. Version 2 is the same as the pictured mat but we have left off the maths symbols too.
