Candy Heart Math

It's about that time again!!

Like I said in my Valentine Card post, I'm NOT a Valentine person. I'm just not. 

But one of the things I do every year (for the last 10 years or so) is Candy Heart Math.



I get these little boxes of Candy Hearts each year... and every year, the colors inside the boxes are different. haha Oh well, my class always knows that sometimes we just need to be flexible. 

Most of the time, the boxes have blue in them. This year, the boxes I got didn't have blue. Sometimes they have white instead of blue. Oh well, we make it work. 


And every year, when my kids see me buy the boxes of candy hearts, they beg to have some... and every year, I make them do the math for them. haha. 

Since C has decided that she no longer wants to take naps, there's no real good time for the girls to do it, without C trying to steal their candy... even though she already had her own box. haha


So... first we sort...and count them - write the number up top!


Then they write them in the hearts, so we have a starting recording sheet.  There's a sheet for fractions, if your kids are ready for that too.


Then graph and answer some questions....


Ten frame fun...and then answering 10 more and 10 less questions.


Adding... there's also a sheet for multiplying, if your kids are ready for that! I always had a few 2nd and 3rd graders who were ready for it.


Then we do some comparisons....


One of the last activities we do is Estimating! How many hearts do you think will fill up the heart? 


At school, I like to turn it into a book and put a cover on it. 


Here is a preview of everything that is included. Click the picture to check it out in my TPT store. And you check out my post from last year HERE

I guess the day when the candy hearts were introduced into the classroom was the happiest for the kids in your classroom. I bet they don’t have any problems t=with any assignments that you give now, because they know that even the most difficult problems can be solved in the most interesting way possible. I don’t that candy hearts are a solution to such a task a college level essays buying, although they may give the chance for the students to be encouraged to solve the issue be themselves.

Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dry and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock.
