Check out our Valentine's Day Math Fun



     Here are some photos of the various math activities we did related to Valentine's Day and our current investigation.  The students had to create a quilt pattern using different colored shapes.  The idea came from Mathwire, a site devoted to math resources for teachers.    Then we had the students graph their hearts they were each given in a bag.  They also had to guess how many of the smaller hearts were needed to to fill the larger heart.  Then we exchanged valentines and had treats in the afternoon.  It was not a bad way to integrate art, math, and a "social".  Enjoy!
