Basic Facts- 4 Types of basic Facts

Basic addition facts Basic subtraction facts Basic multiplication facts Basic division facts

 Basic addition facts each involve two onedigit addends and their sum.
Simple examples such as 3 + 6 come from counting skills before moving onto examples like 24 + 3 and then 24 + 8 where crossing of tens is encountered. At this stage a strong understanding of place value is needed. Recording can be in the form of informal jottings done either horizontally or vertically (labelling tens and ones).

 Addition Properties: The zero property states that zero added to any number is the same as the original number. The commutative (or order) property states that the order of addends does not matter: 3 + 4 = 4 + 3.

Doubles and near doubles: If you have two groups of 8 objects, you have double 8, or 16, objects. Doubles facts are usually easy to remember, and can be used to learn other facts. Since 8 + 8 = 16, and 9 is one more than 8, 8 + 9 will be one more than 16, or 17.

The fact table below shows the strategies that can be used with addition facts.

Example 1:

6 and 1 more is 7 5 and 2 more is 7 (5, 6, 7)

 Basic subtraction facts rely on the inverse relationship of addition and subtraction for their definition.
Find the difference in these facts and do so by adding up. Eg: I have 8 minus 6, 6 plus what is 8?

 Subtraction Rules: There are two rules for using zero in subtraction. Zero subtracted from any number is the original number (this is the counterpart of the zero property of addition), and any number subtracted from itself equals zero.

 Basic multiplication facts each involve two onedigit factors and their product. - There are 100 basic multiplication facts ( from 00 up to 99.
1. Zero times any number is zero. 2. One times any number is the number itself. 3. Nines are "magical": the answer to the nines facts always add up to nine (e.g., 9x8=72; 7+2=9).

Multiplication is first introduced as repeated addition. For example: 3 groups of 4 is 4 + 4 + 4.

 Basic division facts rely on the inverse relationship of multiplication and division, but there are only 90 basic division facts.
