Conversation Heart Math

It's that time of year where we make math activities FUN using conversation hearts!

Each student receives a heart-shaped container that holds 15 conversation hearts of various colors:

Here are some of the math activities we do with them:

SORTING BY COLOR

Students begin by coloring the color words.

Then they started sorting

After the candy hearts had been sorted, they printed the number showing the amount that they had of each color.

GRAPHING

Again they started by coloring the color words,

then they arranged their conversation hearts onto the graphs

and colored in the graph to show what they had.

ROLL & COVER

Playing with a partner, they took turns rolling a die and covering the number they rolled.

First player to cover their whole page wins!

10 FRAMES

Students used their heart candies to show how many letters were in the message on the picture of the conversation heart.
