Valentine Heart Count and Graph

This is a fun, no-prep set of count and graph worksheets for preschool aged children or kindergarten kiddos who need a little practice with counting.

These worksheets are perfect for busy preschool moms and teachers, because they’re quick and easy to put together. You can also add these pages to your Letter Vv preschool activities.

To complete this count and graph activity, show your preschoolers how to find and count the first image. Count all of the red hearts with a surprised face. Finding the correct hearts helps kids build visual discrimination skills.

If your kids have trouble keeping track of which ones they’re already counted, have them use a counter (mini eraser, colored gem, etc) to cover the hearts as they count them.

When your preschooler is done counting the red “surprised” hearts, have him write that number in the box under the first column. Instruct him to continue in this manner as they count the other five images.

Once your preschoolers have completed the I Spy portion of this activity, show them how to graph the results on the graphing page.

Have them color one square for each image they found according to the image at the bottom of each column. I like to have kids color each column a different color so they can better see the difference in each column.

Now that they’ve finished the graph, ask some questions to help them compare and analyze the data. Which column has the most? Which has the least? How many more pink “worried” hearts are there than red “surprised” hearts ? How many pink hearts are there altogether?

Variations:

There are a couple of different ways you can use this preschool graphing worksheets with your students. To use these pages in a math center, print one copy of the graphing page for the center. Laminate it or slip it in a dry erase pocket.

Then, print out a graphing sheet for each student in the class. Let your preschoolers write the numbers on the counting page with dry erase marker. Then, they can color their graphing page to be turned in for assessment.

You could also laminate the graphing page and let your students use dry erase markers, as well. This is a great way to make the activity reusable for both group and individual use.
