Objectives

This unit is designed to help my students better understand word problems in our everyday class using items that they can actually create with their own hands. They will learn one-step word problems at first and eventually two-step word problems. My students will be able to use addition and subtraction within 100 to help solve these problems. My students will build a garden using scenarios from our word problems. My students will learn good habits of reading and thinking and writing while creating their own word problems. My students will explore plants and what plants need to grow and produce fruits and vegetables. My students will dissect and explore the parts of a flower.
