Playing the Valentine’s Day Roll and Cover Free Printable Mats
To play this roll and cover math game, students will roll one die and count the dots. They will find the corresponding number on the candy jar mat and cover it with a manipulative. They roll again and continue until all the numbers are covered in the candy jar.
To play with two dice, students will roll both dice and count the dots. Then they will find the sum and cover the number with a small manipulative. Play continues until all the numbers are covered.
You could also turn the mats into roll and color mats by having the students color the circle with a dry-erase marker if you don’t want to use manipulatives. Either option is great for fine motor skills and will make a fun math activity for February.
More Ideas
Students can play with a partner and use two different colors to cover the numbers on the jar.
Need to make it more difficult? Have students use a recording sheet to write down their addition sentences. Or have them fill in ten frames to match the number that they rolled. They could also just write numbers to practice number recognition and number formation.
Be sure to make time for this fun and engaging Valentine’s day math activity. The kids are going to have a blast!
