Valentine's Day Math Activities


Holidays can be SO tricky to navigate, especially when teenage hormones are involved! Add in boxes of chocolate, balloons and giant fuzzy teddy bears and it's a recipe for little work getting done. 

I asked some math friends if they had any fun, Valentine's Day-themed activities to keep students working on this highly-distractible day. They sent over some great stuff, all of which you can see below. 

Valentines Day algebra math pennant activity for graphing linear equations

Above is a linear equations hearts pennant where students graph and write the equations of linear functions n slope-intercept form. And here is a photo my friend Mandy at Math Dyal sent to me. 

Mandy's students completed the activity and used the hearts to decorate her classroom door (there are tabs on the hearts to hang them from string, too).
