Valentine's day is upon us and what better way to celebrate than enjoying some candy heart math!

This class will meet 3 times in the course of a week to work on a few different math concepts. 

Day 1: Candy heart sorting and patterning

Students will sort their pile of candy hearts into piles by color. We will then count them and build patterns with them. We will cover AB, AABB, and ABC patterns. If time remains, we will look at other types of patterns such as ABBA. 

Day 2: Building bar graphs

We will start by looking at a few examples of bar graphs and discussing what information we can get from bar graphs. Then we will use our pile of candy hearts to build our bar graph and color it. We will then use our bar graphs to analyze our data and answer questions about it. 

Day 3: Building line plots

Again, we will start by looking at line plots and comparing them to bar graphs. We will then make our own line plot with our candy hearts followed by analyzing the data and answering questions about it. 

Students are welcome to use their own candy hearts, however, if your student doesn't have any on hand they can make their graphs using the candy hearts I have on screen. 

Please note that there will be documents that your student will need for this class - they will be available to you upon enrollment.
