Fractions & Decimals...Valentine's Day Style! This resource offers 3 activities for you to use on or around Valentine’s Day. You will need conversation hearts for two of these activities. These activities are appropriate for grades 3-5, but align to 4th Grade Common Core Standards listed below.

MACC.4.NF.A.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions

MACC.4.NF.3.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

1) Find Your Sweetheart!

In the first activity, Find Your Sweetheart!, students will find the fractional amounts of a set by using tally marks and creating a table.

2) My Fraction, My Decimal

In the second activity, My Fraction, My Decimal, students will use only 10 conversation hearts to demonstrate the relationship between fractions and decimals. Then, they will plot the decimals and fractions on a number line. This is a wonderful activity to use when introducing decimal/fraction relationships. For my students, it was a hands-on way to reinforce these concepts.

3) Our Hearts Belong Together!

The third activity, Our Hearts Belong Together, reinforces the concept of equivalent fractions. Students will use a key to color in equivalent fraction hearts for 1/2 , 1/4, 1/3, 2/4. *Answer Key Included*

About this Product
This is an informational newspaper style text fun to use around Valentine’s Day. Included in this product are Bingo sheets which have questions from the entire "newspaper." This activity can be used over a few days. Students read facts and information about the history of Valentine’s Day from the newspaper and then record their answers in the bingo grid. The bingo grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo…possibly on or around Valentine’s Day. The questions range from vocabulary, finding the main idea, using text features, as well as finding key details.

How to Play

The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row. Up, down, or diagonally.

This resource is part of the Reading Comprehension Bingo (Holiday Bundle)

We HEART Fractions!- Valentine's Day Fraction Word Problems

$3.00

About this Product:
This product includes 12 Valentine’s Day Themed Fraction Word Problems aligned with Common Core Math Standards for 4th Grade. The product also includes a Vocabulary sheet in both a half sheet version as well as a full sheet. Students can draw a picture to show an example as well as write the math word definition.

{MACC.4.NF.2.3d, MACC.4.NF.2.4b, MACC.4.NF.2.4c, MACC.4.NF.2.4a}

The 12 problems are presented in 3 different formats.

4 of the same problems on a page that could be used as Math Journal problems (glued into the math journal) or used in a Math Center.

The second format is a “worksheet” format to use if you wanted to review fraction concepts around Valentine’s Day. This would be printed as 6 on a page or 12 if you printed front and back.

The third format is also a “worksheet” format, but has 4 different problems on one side in case your students need more work space. Mine do! I used the journal problems in my classroom so students would have enough room to draw pictures and show their thinking.

****Buy Bundled and Save!****

This resource is now part of a Growing Bundle. Click HERE to save over 33% by purchasing the Growing Bundle. As part of the bundle, you will receive this month and the future upcoming months of the Good Morning, Sunshine! Monthly Morning Work for 5th Grade

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th grade Common Core Standards and intended to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

This set contains 5 weeks of Holiday-themed math morning work for the month of February. The problems are thematic around groundhogs, hearts, Valentine's Day, past presidents, and Black History Month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Multiplication Monday - Problems are centered around Multiplication.

Base Ten Tuesday - All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday - No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday - Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays have problems that may come from 3rd grade or the beginning of the year. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. There may also be a short sentence or paragraph in which students edit the sentence or answer a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

Fraction Fun Friday - Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short, sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

I created this morning work series in my 4th grade classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas. I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

*Routine! - My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom. Also, if I needed a few extra minutes due to meetings or other housekeeping duties, I knew my students were spending that time working on essential math skills, not just “busy work.” The morning work is meant to be short and sweet, skill practice, plus engaging.

*Short and Sweet - There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

*Fewer Copies - Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

*A Weekly Grade - My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they can earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.
