I’ve created free printable present templates that students can fill in with their own fact families. They’re perfect for Christmas math centers, morning work, or extra math practice at home.

And while they look like Christmas presents, you can use these printable fact family worksheets all year long!

These presents do not have to be limited just to the holidays, though! You can use them any time of year, birthdays would be great!

What Is a Fact Family?

A fact family is a group of related math equations that use the same three numbers. Fact families help children understand how addition and subtraction work together, and how multiplication and division are connected.

Most fact families include four related equations—two addition and two subtraction equations, or two multiplication and two division equations.

For example, using the numbers 1, 5, and 6:

Addition and Subtraction:

  • 1 + 5 = 6
  • 5 + 1 = 6
  • 6 − 1 = 5
  • 6 − 5 = 1

Multiplication and Division:

Using 3, 5, and 15:

  • 3 × 5 = 15
  • 5 × 3 = 15
  • 15 ÷ 3 = 5
  • 15 ÷ 5 = 3

Practicing fact families helps kids recognize number relationships, build math fluency, and understand inverse operations rather than simply memorizing facts.

Addition & Subtraction Fact Family Example:  5+1= 6, 6-1= 5, 1+5= 6, 6-5=1

For Multiplication and Division fact families, it works the same way. You have four sentences using three numbers, two are multiplied and two are divided.

Multiplication and Division Fact Family Example: 3×5=15, 5×3=15, 15÷3=5, 15÷5=3

It’s a really good way to help kids grasp numbers and their relationship to each other. You can use them to teach basic addition and subtraction. They are also great to help kids with their multiplication math facts.

The printable presents include an addition and subtraction version as well as a multiplication and division version. The presents are blank, so you can choose any numbers to fill in as needed. Use them to practice the numbers your kids need help with.

Each present has four sections, so you can practice two addition (or multiplication) problems as well as two subtraction (or division) problems.

Write the numbers you are targeting on the bow so kids know what numbers to use.

I printed mine on Christmas colored papers, but you can use any colors, or just white. A good option for these is to laminate them to make them re-usable. Then you don’t waste an entire page on just one set of facts.

Free Printable Fact Family Math Presents

I’ve created two versions of these printable math presents: one for addition and subtraction and another for multiplication and division.

Each present has space for the three numbers in the fact family and four related equations. The templates are blank, so you can customize them for the math facts your students are practicing.

You’ll also find a version with four smaller presents per page, perfect for practicing several fact families at once.

Print them on colorful paper for a festive Christmas math activity, or laminate them and use dry-erase markers to practice throughout the year!
