This hands-on game strengthens number sense and supports fact fluency. Clear instructions and an answer key are included, making it a ready-to-go maths station, guided group activity, or engaging review tool.

This fact family arrays match-up game includes:

• 10 Array Cards
• 40 Fact Cards
• Instructions

Array Fact Family Activity Ideas

These array fact family cards have many classroom uses! Try some of these to help your students gain fact fluency:

Family Search – Choose a few fact families and randomly give each student in your class a card. Students then wander the room, looking for the other students who have a fact or array in the same family.

Additional Arrays – Give students some small manipulatives and show them one of the array cards from this resource. Ask students to represent the same fact shown, but with the other array that fits the fact family. (For example, if shown an array of 3 rows of 8, they would make an array of 8 rows of 3 objects.)

Fast Facts – Supply students with an individual whiteboard and marker. Hold up one of the cards from this fact family arrays game. Students then list or draw the other 4 matching cards. (For example, if shown 6 x 7, they would write 7 x 6, 42 ÷ 6, 42 ÷  7 and draw a matching array.)
