"Multiplication and Division Fact Families With Extra Division Practice" is a worksheet that first asks students to fill in the blanks for various problems that are part of the same multiplication and division fact family. Related problems are displayed in rectangles that are outlined in dashed lines. Each list starts with a division problem like 27 ÷ 3 = 9. The following problem would be 27 ÷ 3 = ___. The next problem is 3 x ___ = 27, and so on, with some problems repeating. Then, students practice division problems that are related to the fact families in the boxes.

At the bottom of the worksheet is a mix of different kinds of division problems for students to practice that may or may not include the fact families they practiced above. Fourth-grade worksheets practice certain divisors, like 2s, 4s, and 9s, while 5th-grade pages practice divisors from 2 to 9.

Fact families can be a powerful way for students to memorize multiplication and division facts because it shows them how problems are related. It gives them the experience of rewriting problems in new ways to find answers, which will serve them well as they begin doing algebra.

When students are first learning multiplication and division fact families, it can be helpful for you to display them and have students fill in the blanks. For example, you might give them a problem like 36 ÷ 4 = 9. Then, they fill in the blank for 4 x ___ = 36.

As students become more efficient at fact families, you can ask them to write the problems themselves. For example, you might give them a problem like 4 x 5 = ____. They have to write the answer and then write the corresponding division problem.

Have students start with a multiplication problem and write the corresponding division problem. Then ask them to start with a division problem and write the corresponding multiplication problems. You may find that students need more practice starting with one operation compared to the other.
