Valentine’s Day is one of my very favorite holidays. It’s such a sweet day and SO much fun if you are a teacher! No one feels more loved on Valentine’s Day than a teacher! I love changing out station activities for the holidays! Here are a few of the valentine math activities I enjoyed with my Kindergarten and First Grade students around the holiday!

Conversation Heart Graphing
After your students sort and count their conversation hearts, they will be ready to graph them! Graphing is a great math skill for little ones because it so concrete, hands-on and helps them practice many different concepts. Littles will be so excited for this fun graphing activity! Here are a few math skills that it will hit:
- Counting
- One to one correspondence
- Math vocabulary (more, less)
- Comparison of quantities
- Data collection and organization
