Teacher’s Notes

My plans for our garden are to add more vegetables using word problems that my students make up as we are getting our hands dirty. By the time we have done the problems from this unit my expectation is that the students will be able to come and write their own problem scenarios for different types of vegetables and fruits. Have fun with it don’t make it stressful or expensive. Find grants in your local towns to help with expenses or ask parents or teachers if they have extra gardening supplies lying around. For example different kinds and sizes of containers also watering cans to carry water especially if you don’t have available water outside. This unit is to teach and learn about math and science make it FUN!!!
