The beginning of the story, “Herman and Hannah Heart” is provided. Have students complete the story as well as draw a picture of what happened to Herman and Hannah Heart. If you have younger children you can ask them to tell you the story verbally. Asking them questions focusing on how, when, where and what. Such as “What color was that dog?” “How many birds where there?” or “when did they go to the park and what did they do there?” encourage them to expand on the story. Older children may benefit more from writing down the story. Writing the story allows them to practice spelling, grammar and handwriting. We have provided a template for the children to use at the bottom of the post.

Valentine's Day Math

Mastery of mathematics even in its simplest form takes practice. Children sometimes have difficulties spending extended amounts of time, or repeating some activities. Their developing brains are constantly searching for something new and exciting. Math based coloring pages are a colorful way to help keep children interested in the activity.

For children learning to count simply fill in the shapes with numbers and assign a color to each number or the same color to several numbers, in this case the instructions were to color the numbers 1-3 Red, 4, 8 and 9 Purple, 5-7 and 10 Pink. After the children finish coloring the will find a picture of a heart incorporating shapes.

For older children who need more of a challenge, using squares keeps them from knowing the shape before they start. The square design also appeals to the recent 8-bit video game fad. The children can color the squares with the color that corresponds to the correct answers. The design is revealed only after they have completed the worksheet. And the squares can be filled with any type of equation.
