Fact Family Songs:
 Here are the lyrics for the Fact Family song we sing at school! Can you sing it for somebody in your own family?

We’re a Fact Family

(Chorus)  
We’re a fact family. We’re a fact family.
We stick together naturally.
We’re a fact family. We’re a fact family.
We stick together naturally.

We’re facts that make a family.
We use the same three numbers.
If you know one of the facts,
You also know the others.

(Chorus)

When four facts make a family,
Two add and two subtract.
When two facts make a family,
Then look for a doubles fact.

(Chorus)
Here is another cool fact family tune:
