See how related bonds form fact families

What You'll Learn

  • Write all 4 facts from one bond (2 additions, 2 subtractions)
  • See the commutative property in action

📖Families of Facts

One number bond gives you a whole family of facts! If 7 = 3 + 4, then you also know: 7 = 4 + 3, 7 - 3 = 4, and 7 - 4 = 3. Four facts from one bond!

💡

When you learn one bond, you are learning four facts at once. This makes learning math facts much faster!
