Doubles to 20 Butterflies WITH recap questions (in order/random order)

What’s included?
This download includes x 5 sets (each set includes x3 pages) featuring x20 butterflies in black and white AND rainbow versions. Also includes x20 recap questions at the end of every set - these questions are in order and random order (you choose - depending on what best suits your learner/s.

This beautiful resource has been carefully designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support.

There are x15 ‘A4’ pages, all portrait orientation.

Each set clearly features twenty butterflies and twenty recap questions.

Resource layout
Each butterfly’s wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 20. Learners can complete the other half of each double (by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right wing) and write the total number (of dots) on the line above to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 11 is 22.’

Size 22 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the text e.g. ‘Double 2 is …’ easy to read and clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 20 to learners. The different designs in order/random order can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 20.

The x20 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. In the colour version the ‘outline colour’ of each ‘question box’ matches the ‘doubles butterfly’ above providing a visual link for the learner to check back to each corresponding butterfly, if needed, before committing to writing answers in the question boxes at the end.

Recommendations
I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘doubling numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Using physical coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin!

When using these resources small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the butterfly wings each time (for a learner with good fine motor control) to then physically count how many match sticks there are in total before drawing the total number of matching dots (on the right wing) and writing the total number (above).

These PDF’s have been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, they could be laminated to enable reuse and improve durability. The black and white version is a good for photocopying.

Useful for…
I hope these resources will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

Online learning
These resources are also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.
