Looking through the range of resources it occurred to me that Valentine’s Day is coming up shortly. Sometimes it’s nice to have a change and special occasions such as Valentine’s Day allows us to do this. Here we have a maths worksheet suitable for Year 3 children with a Valentine Day’s theme. It is a subtraction page but all the missing numbers have to be put into the special Valentine hearts. There are also a couple of Valentine word problems.
The easiest way to do most of these subtractions is by adding on from the smaller number, once again showing the special relationship between addition and subtraction.
Thanks to urbrainy.com for letting me use this page from their vast supply of worksheets, including more on Valentine’s Day.
