Valentine’s Day Math Fun

I’d like to start off with some wonderful Valentine’s Day math resources since math isn’t normally associated with Valentine’s Day. We teachers (and parents, too) know that getting those basic math facts ingrained into the minds of students takes a bit of work. These cute Valentine’s Day puzzles are the perfect (and fun!) way to practice! There are different types to choose from, enabling you to challenge your higher students while allowing your other kids to practice at their appropriate level as well.

Various Valentine’s Day activities are available below. Click on the one/s that are most appropriate for your students.

Need even more heart options? My tarsia puzzles have addition 0-20, subtraction 0-20, multiplication 0-10, division 1-2, adding and subtracting within 100, and adding and subtracting within 1000. Click here or on the image below to grab the puzzles that best fit your students needs.

With the tarsia puzzle bundles, you get nine different shapes – heart, circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, oval, star, and diamond. Use those alone or together, add some fun “flair”, and you get some amazing Valentine’s Day crafts for your students!
