Free Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets – Valentine Story Problems Post Preview: Use this free printable math story problems packet for 1st – 3rd grade for some Valentine’s Day math activities.


Many a student will cringe when it’s time to do story problems. Math can feel a lot easier when you’re just given some numbers written out in a more standard form.

However, working on story problems is so important of course. In life, we’re rarely given problems nicely written out. Most of the math we solve outside of school and homework are story problems. 

Today I’m sharing a free packet of story problems for Valentine’s Day for 1st – 3rd grade. This can be a way to add some Valentine’s Day flair to your math time.

Free Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets: Valentine Story Problems for 1st – 3rd Grade

This Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets Packet includes 12 different Valentine-themed story problems that require addition and subtraction. While some could also be solved with simple multiplication or division, that is absolutely not necessary for these problems.

There are four story problems on each of the three pages of math problems. The packet includes the three pages in color as well as the same three pages in black and white. Since both are included, you can pick what works best for you.

You should print out the pages with the story problems on white printer paper or white cardstock (if you plan to use them as math task cards).

The pages can either be used as worksheets or you can cut them apart on the lines that are around each story problem to use them as math task cards.

The Age Range for the Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets Packet

This packet is most suited for 1st – 3rd grade students. Since there are some easier questions and some that are slightly more complex, you might find that one page of the packet is plenty for your younger students, while older ones can solve them all without too much difficulty.

As always, part of the issue with story problems is just figuring out what information a student needs to know and how to use that information. So, while the math involved may be very easy for some 3rd graders, it’s also important for them to work on figuring out how to solve the story problem with the information they are given.

Younger students in this age range may benefit from drawing pictures or using math manipulatives for solving the problems.

As always, any age suggestions I give are just that – suggestions. You know your students or children best. This Valentine’s Day Math Worksheets Packet may be appropriate for older or younger children, depending on their abilities and educational needs.

How to Use Math Task Cards

Valentine's Day Math Task Cards for 1st - 3rd Grade

Math task cards (as well as task cards for any other subjects) can be used in many different ways. Students can use them individually, with a partner, or in groups.

Laminated task cards are great to use for group work, at stations, in file folders, or as something to work on at home.

I would also recommend printing the color version if you’re using them as math task cards.

If you would like to be able to reuse these math task cards, I recommend laminating the cards.


You could also make these math task cards into a file folder activity. Just paste or laminate each task card onto a file folder and keep a dry erase marker handy.
