Valentine's Day in the Math Classroom

Maybe it is my love for math that makes me think a Valentine theme and math make a perfect combination! I have gathered some of my favorite math activities and decorations for February and Valentine’s Day.

Valentine Heart Number Line

These hearts feature positive and negative integers -10 to 10. This is a great tool to use for math activities (like comparing numbers, estimating values of square roots, and operating with integers).

Adding & Subtracting Integers Mystery Graph

Practice working with integers with this fun Valentine's Day math activity. Students add and subtract positive and negative numbers. Each solution creates an ordered pair that students graph on the coordinate plane to reveal an image of a heart emoji.

Reasons to Love Math Bulletin Board

Celebrate Valentine’s Day and a love for math with this door decoration or bulletin board kit. Included are 24 hearts with ways math helps us in everyday life.

Valentine Equation Challenge

Practice solving challenging, multi-step equations with this Valentine activity. Each equation reveals a fun fact about Valentine's Day. Equations are difficult and include exponents, roots, brackets, and several steps.

Math Can Transform Your Heart Door

Celebrate Valentine’s Day and a love for math with this easy to create classroom decoration. It features geometric transformations of hearts on coordinate planes.

Low Prep Math Stations

Students visit 8 stations and solve a math problem. On their answer recording sheets, they show their work and write things they love, corresponding to the solution. Five versions of math problems are included: expressions as written words, integer operations, percent of a number, two-step equations, and evaluating functions for a given value.

I hope you found these ideas inspiring for your math classroom this Valentine’s Day.
