Free Valentine’s Day Math Activities ♥️

Looking for fun Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets for Grades K-8?

Love is in the air and it’s time to plan your lesson plans for this upcoming February 14th by sharing some fun Valentine’s Day math activities with your students in grades K-8.

Whenever you share holiday-themed math activities with your students, it’s a nice touch to share a little history of the holiday, why it is celebrated, any cultural significance it may have, and maybe even a fun fact or two. By building up the experience and giving the holiday some extra significance, you can expect a strong boost in student engagement and participation—and who doesn’t want that?

Did you know that Valentine’s Day originated as Saint Valentine’s Day, a celebration day for Valentinus, one of the first Christian saints. The holiday became linked to romantic love during the Middle Ages when courtship with a common tradition in society. And so, February 14th evolved over the centuries to become the celebration of love that we know it to be today, with common traditions such as giving flowers, chocolates, and love letters to one’s significant other.

Ready to celebrate in your classroom? Effective teachers know how to channel their students’ excitement for fun events and holidays—like Valentine’s Day—into fun and engaging learning experiences. Sharing holiday-themed math puzzles is a perfect way to give your students an opportunity to get excited about mathematics while working on fun yet challenging problems that encourage critical thinking and the use of creative problem solving strategies.
