Valentine's Day Part 2

I love to give my students a little something special for Valentine's Day every year.  My go to Valentine treat for them has been a bag of skittles with a cute little heart homework pass stapled to it.  It isn't much or hard to do but it makes a big impact with the kids and they love it!

Valentine's Day Graphing

Do you remember when we did our post about graphing candy hearts here?  Well, we decided to change it up a little bit this year.  Instead of a bar graph, we will be completing a pictograph.  I have updated the file to represent a pictograph instead.  Just click on the picture below:

  Maybe you want to do both with your kids?  Click on the first link to access the bar graph.

Happy Graphing and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Candy Heart Graphing

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching!  Do you have lots of fun things planned?  In our school, we are limited to the number of class parties that we are allowed to have.  This means that our Holiday party and End of Year party take precedence and all other celebrations go by the wayside.  It also means that we need to get creative to use the holidays and special events in fun and unique ways to meet the core!  So, we took Valentine's Day and created a Bar Graph activity for our students to do with candy hearts.

In honor of the Day of LOVE, we are giving it away for free!  Just click on the picture below to download it.  Included is a graph with colors and a blank one in case you use a different type of candy hearts that doesn't include the same colors as ours.  We'd love for you to leave us some Blog Love too!! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Line Plot Match Up

I have enjoyed these last few days off!  I hope that you all have enjoyed them as well.  I have had the chance to get lots of school work done.  One of the things I have worked on is a Line Plot matching game in preparation for Valentines Day.  Last year, I created some other line plot activities and wrote about them here and here.  One of our stations in our math rotations is what we call a Manipulation Station.  I created this activity as a hands on matching activity for our students to use while reviewing line plots.  It could also be used as a game in the game station.  It also includes a recording sheet to check for understanding.  Head on over to my TPT store to pick up your own copy!
