When the weather gets nice and school gets out it means it's time to take the math learning outdoors! Sometimes a practical application can make the best kids math program, which is why our weekly word problems have a basis in real-world math problems such as gardening!
This word problem challenge gives students an opportunity to practice their elementary school math skills such as fractions, conversions, multiplication, and division. Are you ready to “grow” your skills? Take a look and give it a try, and be sure to come back tomorrow to check your solution against ours!
