For example, 10, 3, and 7 form a fact family. You can use these three numbers to create two addition number sentences and two subtraction number sentences: 10-3=7 10-7=3 7+3=10 3+7=10 Write or state a subtraction word problem for your students: I have 7 candies. I eat 3 of the candies. How many candies do I have left. Walk your students through the process step by step: Ask your students which number sentence they are trying to solve. Write "7-3=?" on the board. Ask them to determine the third member of the fact family. Write the following number sentences on the board: "3+__=7"; "__+3=7"; "; "7-__=3"; and 7-3=__" Fill in the blanks as the students provide you with the answers.

Summary:
Introduce the concept of fact families. Present your students with a subtraction word problem. Use a fact family to solve this problem.
