Gardens and plants are full of mathematical concepts once they begin to grow; all you have to do is look!
Once vegetables and plants start growing students can observe the shapes of the plants and garden.
Students can also find symmetry and angles in plants and leaves.
Rational counting skills can also be exercised while young children enjoy counting the leaves and fruit on plants.
