We are working through the book Math In The Garden, and finding a lot of inspiration for math activities from this book. It is designed to integrate math with gardening and does so beautifully with innovative lessons that are explained well and enhanced with delightful illustrations. Today, we are working on Find the Area and Perimeter of Leaves and comparing them, an activity for children 8-13 years of age.
What I like about this book is that each lessons comes with multiple ways to approach the lesson or comes with various activities. You could complete them all or choose what suits you students, or you could use the book as inspiration and depart completely from the activities and design your own lessons and activities based on the information provided in the book.
Check out the blog post that accompanies this video for more resources, tutorials and links to the materials and book (reprinted for 2024):
