Valentine's Day Freebie!

Hello, everyone! I have been absent from blogging this weekend because I have a bad cold and have been in bed.  Booo....anyhow I wanted to share a fun little math idea with you involving the little plastic heart boxes pictured below:

Snag yourself some @ Target's Dollar Spot before it's too late!!
Begin by using a sharpie and numbering each box (you can decide how many boxes you want for your center).  Place various amounts of coins inside the boxes.  Place boxes and recording sheets/pencils in a math tub.  Students take turns pulling hearts, counting coins inside, recording the amount, and repeating until they have counted the coins in each box.  Easy and fun! Let me know if you like this and are going to use it in your classroom!

I had seen these at Target but wasn't sure what to do with them so I didn't get any. May have to go out and hope they're still there now! : )

I love this! - thank you for sharing. I missed these hearts last year, so I snagged some early this year. My kids always struggle with money so this is perfect!

Hope Target still has some left because I would love to do this with my first grader at home. He could use practice with his coins.
