Fact Family Butterfly

To help students with their fact families, we made Fact Family Butterflies!  

 For this project we used addition and subtraction fact families, but multiplication and division fact families would work just as well! To begin, all you need is colored construction paper and the butterfly body template.  

 Click here for the body template!

First, write the numbers of the fact family on the lines provided on the butterfly's body.  Then cut out the body.

Next, trace your hand four times on the construction paper.  Then cut them out.

**Make sure that when students trace their hands, their fingers are NOT spread apart.  Keeping the fingers close together creates a better sized area for writing the fact family number sentences.**  

Dedicate each wing to a single fact family equation using the numbers on the body.  Once all four equations have been written on the wings, glue the butterfly together!
