This is a fun problem-solving activity for St. Valentine’s Day as an introduction to using glyphs in the shape of whole and half-shaped hearts to work out addition and subtraction sums.
Aimed at: Reception/KS1
Content:
- 12 Slide PowerPoint Presentation
- 3 Addition Worksheets
- 4 Subtraction Worksheets
- Answer Sheets
Start the lesson by asking students if they know what hieroglyphs and/or glyphs are and who used them and why they were used instead of the number system we use today.
Slides 3-4
The presentation lesson begins by briefly explaining how the Aztecs and the Mayans used hieroglyphs/glyphs to represent numbers and then the class have a go at working out the numbers.
Main lesson
Slides 5 – 13
The lesson goes on to explain using whole hearts and half-shaped hearts as glyphs and then using these symbols to solve addition and take away sums.
It includes whole class activity and detailed examples of how the students work out the answers. Remind the students that the number of half-shaped hearts tells you how many whole hearts to take away.
Students can use different methods to work out the problems, for example, if the students see 7 whole hearts, they add them up to make 7 as one whole heart is equal to 1. For subtraction, if the children see 7 whole hearts and 4 half-shaped hearts, they hold up 7 fingers and then fold down 4 fingers to take away the 4 half-shaped hearts.
Consolidation
There are three worksheets for students to add up the hearts and four worksheets on taking away. Answer sheets included.

This resource is primarily aimed at EYFS/Reception and Year 1 as it relates to counting to 10 and writing addition sentences using a Tens Frame.

Content:
• All Task Cards are also on PowerPoint Slides
• 10 Counting Task Cards - PDF
• 25 Addition Task Cards - PDF
• 2 Blank Ten Frames
• Teacher Notes
Counting Task Cards
The cards are on PowerPoint Slides and as PDF activity worksheets which you can print off and laminate. Students count the counters or dots and write down the number.
You can do this activity as a whole class. Play the PowerPoint Presentation and students can either say how many counters they see or write the answer on their whiteboards.
25 Addition Task Cards
The addition task cards are on PowerPoint Slides. Hand out whiteboards/dry erase pens. Show one or two slides.
Tell students that There are two blue blank boxes below the tens frame for students to write two addition sums.
Ask: How many blue counters do you see?
Ask: How many yellow counters do you see?
Now tell the students to write an addition sum using the plus and equals sign and then to show you on their whiteboards.
Ask: Does it matter which way we write the addition sum? And would it change the answer?
You can print out the task cards as they are also saved as PDFs and laminate for students to practise write addition sums two ways.
Other suggested uses
Learning about doubles.
Select some of the addition cards including those with the same amount colours on each card, i.e. 1 + 1; 2 + 2; 3 + 3; 4 + 4; 5 + 5.
Ask children what they notice about the number of counters? Same number repeated twice, 3 + 3.
Say 2 + 2 = 4 is the same as saying double 2 is 4
3 + 3 = 6 is the same as saying double 3 is 6
Optional
All the task cards on are on PowerPoint, so you can change the colour of the counters and print off.
