Picture Books for Valentine’s Day That Inspire a LOVE for Math
Guess How Much I Love You
The beloved tale of Little and Big Nutbrown Hares’ efforts to describe their love for each other is a staple of bedtimes and story times. When Little Nutbrown Hare stretches out his arms to show how much he loves Big Nutbrown Hare, the question of measurement naturally arises. How can we measure love? Little and Big Nutbrown Hare express their love as increasingly far distances, ending with “I love you right up to the moon and back.” Children can make valentine cards expressing their love for family or friends in this way, or calculate the actual distance to the moon and back. Measuring distances around the school or playground is also a way to extend this story into thinking mathematically.
