Butterfly Attack Math Game
I love using games to work on math skills!
If you’re looking for a fun and effective way to boost math fact fluency in your classroom or at home, the Butterfly Attack Fact Fluency Game is a must-try! This printable game helps students practice addition and subtraction facts in a fun, hands-on way!
About the Game
This spring-themed game is a board game designed for young learners who are working on mastering addition and subtraction facts within 20. It includes four different game boards—available in both black-and-white and color versions—so you can easily differentiate or rotate them for variety.
Students spin a spinner or roll a die, move forward the designated number of spaces, and solve the math problem they land on. Along the way, they may encounter butterflies that send them backward—adding a fun twist that keeps kids on their toes!
