FREE Valentine's Day Easy Math Center Idea & Printable

 Need a last minute Valentine's Day math center?  

Gather these supplies. I have also seen the small plastic hearts at Michaels Crafts and Walmart.

The plastic pockets are optional but I like using them because

1. I can make less copies.

2. The kids love using them.

3. It is better for the environment!

Partners take turns selecting a heart and counting the coins inside. After they both record their total, they write in the greater than or less than sign to determine who won that round. The winner is whoever won more rounds.

You don't need to write the numbers on the hearts unless you want to provide an answer key. Just make sure there are different amounts in each heart so no round ends up in a tie.

Go grab the FREE printable in my shop!

 I saw this cute basket at Party City for only $1 that would add to the cuteness of this center!

Are you still looking for a few more ideas to round out next week?

And I'll leave you with another freebie! Have a great weekend!

Winner and another Giveaway!

 Congrats to Sara Cannon, the winner of my Valentine's Bump Addition & Subtraction game!

I'd also like to give away a copy of the Multiplication version. I'm not sure how many followers I have that teach the older grades but I do in the summer so I often make more advanced items, as well. 

Leave a comment saying what grade you teach and your email and I will pick a winner! 

Thank you to all of you who visited my TpT store during the sale. I spent more than I usually do so I better get to creating!

The Day it Rained Nouns Craftivity

 Do you have the book The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond?

 I usually read the book then teach about common and proper nouns, practice sorting nouns with a tree map, and end with a craftivity that doubles as an individual assessment and adorable bulletin board! 

I put all of this in my The Day it Rained Nouns packet and added in some alternate bulletin board ideas.

 Have you read this sweet book?

I made a common/proper noun sorting activity that doubles as a cute bulletin board.

Or Grammar Bump? The kids love any BUMP game.

I also included a black and white version for those without color printers or wanting to save on ink costs.
