KID KANDY:
Counting Fun ~ Purchase Valentine conversation hearts.
You can:
- use an ice tray to practice 1:1 correspondence - one heart in each ice cube spot.
- count as high as possible (adults can help kid counters count higher). How many are in the bag (or box)?
- sort the conversation hearts by color or sayings. Which color has the most hearts? The least hearts?
- evenly divide hearts so that all family members receive the same number. How many hearts does each person get?
- practice simple addition by making small groups of hearts (1-5). Help count on and add the two groups together.
Math is fun, specially with cute sugary hearts. Happy Valentine's Day!
Angie Quantrell loves combining reading fun books and doing math activities that go along with the books. Little Valentine conversation hearts are the perfect treat for reading + counting.
