Frozen Fact Family
Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between
multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 5 = 40, one knows 40 5 = 8) or properties of
operations.
Task: Students are going to make a frozen fact family using multiplication and division sentences
that are related. First students will choose two numbers and multiply them together. Students will
use the commutative property to write the corresponding multiplication sentence. Then students
will use their knowledge of the inverse relationship of multiplication and division to write the two
division facts.

incorrect.
All of the fact family sentences are correct.
All of the fact family sentences are correct and
the student could explain how they discovered
which fact fit into the family (i.e. inverse
relationship or commutative property)
