Fact Families – Interactive Safari-Themed Fun

This engaging interactive activity will help your students understand fact families and discover the relationship between multiplication and division. With eight safari-themed slides and a variety of tasks (plus answer key!), this digital resource is a must-have when teaching your Grade 5s about multiplication and division fact families!

To play, move through the tasks as a whole class group, or assign to your students’ devices as an individual task. 

Through this activity, students will show their ability to find unknown values in numerical equations involving multiplication and division, by using the properties of numbers and operations

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your maths lessons

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided maths groups, whole class lessons, or homework assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

If additional support is needed, provide a multiplication chart and demonstrate how it can be used to find products, quotients, and factors.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

To provide an added challenge, ask students to create a matching game where one card has a multiplication fact, such as 8 × 3 = 24, and the matching card has a related division equation, such as 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
