About this worksheet

A fact family is a set of addition and subtraction facts that use the same three numbers. If 4 + 6 = 10, then 6 + 4 = 10, 10 - 4 = 6 and 10 - 6 = 4 are in the same family. Seeing that adding and subtracting undo each other is one of the biggest ideas in first-grade number work, and it is why a child who knows 4 + 6 can answer 10 - 6 without counting.

On this worksheet each line gives an addition fact and asks for a related subtraction, such as 4 + 6 = 10, so 10 - 4 = ____. Support sheets use totals to 10, standard sheets go to 15, and challenge sheets go to 20. Ask your child to say the whole family out loud before writing.

  • See that addition and subtraction use the same three numbers
  • Use an addition fact to find a subtraction fact
