MLK Day Headbands Color by Code Add Subtract to 10

Description

These MLK Day headbands color by code activities give your kindergarten and first grade students a fun, festive way to practice addition and subtraction facts to 10. Students solve math problems, use a color key to color their headband, cut it out, and wear it — all while building fluency with key early math skills. Perfect for Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations in January!

This resource includes five unique headband designs featuring MLK Day-themed images: a peace dove, the Earth with a peace sign, a heart with hands, Dr. King himself, and a handshake. Each design comes in two versions — one labeled “Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day” and one labeled “MLK Day” — giving you 10 student pages total. You also get a coloring stamp sheet with black-and-white and color versions for extra headband decorations, plus complete answer keys for every design.

Because every headband uses addition and subtraction within 10, this activity works beautifully for kindergarten and first grade math review. It also makes a great option for early finishers, morning work, or a low-prep sub plan during the MLK Day week. Best of all, prep is as simple as copying on cardstock and handing it out.

Students love wearing their finished headbands, and teachers love how much math practice sneaks into a hands-on craft. In addition, the stamp decoration sheets let kids add even more MLK Day flair to their sentence strip headbands. These MLK Day headbands color by code activities are exactly what your classroom needs for a meaningful, math-packed January celebration!
