Hands-on Math Valentine’s Day Centers
1. Greater or Less Than Goodies – More or Less
Students grab a handful of manipulatives and place them in the jar. They will then count the number of manipulatives. The next student grabs a handful of manipulatives, places them in the second jar, and counts them. The students then determine which jar has more and draw a greater/ less than symbol.
2. Racing Hearts – 1:1 Correspondence
The first player rolls one or two dice, then finds the number and colors it. The second player rolls the dice and colors in the hearts using a different colored marker. The player that colors in the last heart wins!
3. Sweet Treats Train – 1:1 Correspondence/ Addition
Students count the treats on each card and place the card and place the card in the correct train. Then use the recording sheet to make an equation using the picture cards.
4. Honeycomb Counting – Counting On
Students choose a bee card and write the number in the honeycomb. Then they will write two numbers that come next on the recording sheet.
5. Match Makers – Making 10
Students will spin the spinner and identify the number on the ten frame. Then they will find the bear who is holding the number needed to make a ten. They can spin again, or the next player will spin.
6. Sweet Subtraction – Subtraction from 10
Students will solve the equations and place the chocolate into the correct heart box. Then they can write the equations for each number on the recording sheet.
Hands-on Literacy Valentine’s Day Centers
1. Love Notes – Sight Words
Students use letter beads or magnetic letters to build the sight words. They record on their recording sheet.
2. Make n’ Bake – CVC Words
Students read the words on the cookies and sort them by real words or nonsense words by placing them on the correct cookie sheet.
3. Broken Hearts – Ending Sounds
Students fix the broken hearts by matching the picture with it’s ending sound.
4. Love Letters – Classifying Letters
Students search for the target letters on the mailcarts. They can cover them with small manipulatives or circle them with a dry erase marker. They will count how many letters they found and write it in the box.
5. Love Bug Spin and Cover – Middle Sounds
Students spin the spinner and cover the word with the same middle sound with a small manipulative. They can also use a dry erase marker to cross out the word.
6. Colorful Cupcakes and Happy Hearts – Sight Words
Students build the sentences in a pocket chart. They will need to match the correct color cupcake or heart to each sentence and then complete the recording sheet. Several writing pages are provided depending on your students’ ability.
