Looking for some fun holiday math activities? These Valentine-themed brain teaser math operation problems will challenge your students to use a variety of strategies to solve. There are ten sets of brain teasers, which include a mix of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and even a few balanced equations. Each problem set also incorporates a "missing piece" problem to solve.

Students will need to put on their detective hats as they hunt for clues to solve the value of each Holiday icon in these deceptively simple math problems.

Tip: Use the example problems to model strategies for solving or see what strategies they utilize! Great for collaborative or independent math activities. The "Teacher Timesaver" is a handy sheet that shows where to start each brain teaser.
