Valentine Cupcake Math Craft

Children solve each strip, showing their work on scrap paper, then cut out the strips, cupcake and hearts. Glue the top to the liner and the hearts on the frosting, and tape the strips in a chain to the back of the liner so they hang down. Challenge strips are harder, so children can try them when ready.

Five pages after the cover. Page 1 has the supplies and 5 steps, and the next pages have a cupcake top and liner and 16 heart cutouts. The last 2 pages have 16 multiply and divide strips and 12 fraction strips, some marked Challenge. A separate answer key lists every strip with fractions in simplest form.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
