Jar Of Hearts – Valentine’s Day Math Printable

valentine's day math for kidsThis is another part of our learning after school series. I try to engage my son in fun things after school and when I asked him what he wanted to work on he said math. He loves math and comes by it very very naturally. His dad has a bachelors degree in engineering with a minor in math and an MBA in finance. Yeah, numbers are well loved in our house. Even I love math although I didn’t always. It wasn’t until I was teaching it to students that I found the fun in numbers.

      1. Gather your materials. You will need a jar , some hearts ( any hearts will do – we used foam ones but paper, heart erasers, heart candies will all work), The printable found here and again below and a pencil with an eraser.valentine's day math activity for kids
      2. Start by printing out the printable – click here for download. It looks grainy in the pdf but it’s clear when downloaded.

      3. Lay out the sheet, pencil, and hearts and let your little math whiz at it. Of course, this is more than just a math lesson. My son is working on writing numbers in kindergarten right now and this is my tricky way of practicing without making him write them over and over again. If the 8 questions are too much do 2 or 3 and put it away for a day or two and complete the rest after. Learning isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon so go slow if needed!

      I hope it’s as big a hit there as it was here. This morning My son wrote all the numbers out again on a second printable I had printed out. Made me think I will probably print out multiples from now on in hopes I get even more extra writing practice for him!

    This is a great idea thanks. I´m also intrigued in what that is hanging on the door behind your son, it looks very interesting?
