Help your Year 1 child discover how addition and subtraction facts belong together.

Flower Fact Families turns related number facts into a simple paper craft. Your child chooses three connected numbers and uses the flower centre and petals to build the addition and subtraction facts that belong to the same family. This helps children see subtraction as connected to addition rather than as a completely separate idea.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. Work carefully with one or two fact-family flowers, then compare different families or use a missing part to encourage deeper reasoning.

Skills Explored

• Understanding that addition and subtraction are connected
• Using related facts within 20

You'll Need
