About these worksheets
Each triangle holds a family: the product on top, the two factors below. From 8, 6 and 48 come four facts: 8×6, 6×8, 48÷8 and 48÷6. Writing all four shows that multiplication and division use the same three numbers: 48 ÷ 6 = 8 is the fact 6 × 8 = 48 read backward. The two factors in each triangle are different numbers from 2 to 9, so the products run from 6 to 72.
Grade level: these worksheets are part of our 3rd grade math worksheets collection.
Frequently asked questions
How do fact family triangles work?
Cover any corner and the other two numbers demand it back: cover 48 and you multiply; cover a factor and you divide. Writing all four facts per triangle makes the structure explicit.
Why teach division through fact families?
Because 48 ÷ 6 asks “6 times what is 48?” — division is literally a multiplication question. Fact families make that visible instead of mysterious.
Is there an addition version?
Yes — the addition and subtraction fact family worksheet uses the same triangles with sums.
