Multiplication Fact Family Cards

Each card has three numbers on it. The number at the bottom is the product of the two numbers above it. These three numbers are a fact family. This card shows four related facts:
3 x 5 = 15
5 x 3 = 15
15 ÷ 3 = 5
15 ÷ 5 = 3
After you print and cut out the cards, be sure to try the suggested games and activities!
