Overview

The lecture introduces basic addition and subtraction fact families, emphasizing the relationships between these math facts.

Fact Families Explained

  • A fact family groups related addition and subtraction facts using the same numbers.

  • Fact families help reinforce understanding of basic math operations.
  • Recognizing these relationships improves speed and accuracy with basic math facts.
