Perhaps it's a story that involves using the math box to create patterns with valentine's stickers.

They then use their math skills to figure out how many stickers are needed to continue the pattern for a certain number of repetitions.
In a 2nd grade valentines math box story, if there are different colored heart - shaped objects in the box. Teachers can use this to teach basic probability. For example, if there are 10 red hearts and 5 pink hearts in the box, what is the probability of picking a red heart?
