❤️ Simple Valentine's Day Math Ideas for You


Hi Manoj,

Here we are--it's already February and Valentine's Day is just around the corner! It comes up so fast!

I enjoy celebrating this with my kids. I do miss the days when we would use some of the resources below (they've outgrown so many!), but I've still got some engaging games up my sleeve for this year. ;)

And I *might* have bought myself a bag of "fave reds" starburst candies as a treat to myself, LOL.

If you plan to shower your kids or your students with love this Valentine's Day, I hope you'll be able to incorporate one of the low-prep math ideas below!

There are lots of ideas below, for kids of all ages, so I hope you can find at least one thing to use in your math lessons to change things up a bit. :)

And if you teach grades 5-8, take a peek at the bonus resources available to Math Geek Mama+ members this month! To help you weave in meaningful math fun for Valentine's Day (and St. Patrick's Day), I've got some exclusive resources to give to everyone who joins in the month of February.

Engaging Online Math Program for Ages 3-9

Hi Manoj, When my kids were little, I used a variety of resources to teach them to read, along with our core curriculum. One of my kids, however, struggled for quite some time, and so eventually we added daily practice with Reading Eggs to our school time. This bit of extra practice and support was just the thing my child needed and today is an avid reader. Because of the great experience we had with Reading Eggs, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try out their math program, Mathseeds . If you're not familiar, Mathseeds is an online math program for ages 3-9 . Using short animated videos, catchy songs and practice activities, kids work at their own pace through the 200 lessons.

Fun *Winter* Math Ideas for Kids {Hands On & Printable}

Hi Manoj, We live pretty far south in the U.S., so while I absolutely LOVE the warm, non-snowy winters , it's a bit of a bummer for my kids. Luckily, even if there's no snow on the ground outside, you can still read great winter books and do some low-prep winter math games together to get in the "winter spirit." And if it's not winter where you are, maybe you can still use these activities to dream of snow. ;) Low-Prep Winter Math Activities: >> FREE I Spy Winter Count to 10 Booklet | Grades PreK-K >> FREE Addition & Subtraction within 10 Coloring Pages | Grades K-1 >> FREE Addition to 20 Color by Number Pages | Grades 1-2 Hands On Winter Math Ideas: >> FREE Build a Snowman Place Value Practice | Grades 2-3 >> Get Outside: Snow Day Math Fun | Grades K-5 >> Explore Fractals with a Fractal Snowflake | Grades 2+ >> Explore Volume with Hot Chocolate Math | Grades 5+ ...
