Math Fact House: Addition & Subtraction

There are so many skills you need to learn with math. And one of those is working on math facts. Kids have so many things to learn but one idea of several sets of equations belong to the same math facts is one of them.

It is a simple idea that can be hard to learn. And this free math fact house for addition and subtraction works on that. It is an easy way to show kids all the math facts for a set of numbers.

This is a great addition to the addition printables and the subtraction printables on the site.

I made the math fact house printables to have fun with our learning math. There are several colors to pick from: blue, red, green, yellow, purple, orange, grey/light blue and white. I like the idea of lots of different colors because kids don’t always like the same color. Plus you can use them all in a mix of different groups.

You can see that each page has a simple set of equations for kids to work on. This is an example of one of the math fact pages. You can see that we laminated the page.

I love giving kids addition flashcards on rings to use with these math fact houses. They get to see the two numbers and figure out the third. Then they can fill in the rest of the math fact house. It is simple and easy to do. We used dry erase markers on the laminated math fact house.

  1. I don’t know how you keep coming up with so many great free printables, Cassie … but I’m very grateful that you do! Thanks so much for sharing your free math fact house printable! I featured it as the Free Printable of the Day at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and on Pinterest. 🙂

  2. Thanks for sharing these. I am so appreciative of you sharing your ideas to help in teaching my kids.
    I am laminating one on cardstock and then just using a dry erase marker to change up the numbers.

  3. OK, not being a mom and kinda clueless, how do you use these? I am babysitting a brother (1st grade) and sister (kinder) after school and mom has asked me to help them with numbers and letters. This looks like fun, but I can’t quite figure out how to use them. I have links, number tiles, and magnetic numbers to work with.

    1. I have a post about how to use this coming on Saturday. But you take numbers to put in the bottom on the triangle: Example 2 & 4 The Top number would be 6. It would fill out like this: 2 + 4=6, 4+2=6, 6-2=4, 6-4=2.

  4. This is a nifty idea and a great math resource. Thank you for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop 🙂

  5. Cassie, these are great! I’m including this activity and one photo in a round up of addition activities I’m putting together. Thank you so much for sharing all you do!
