Students measure the area of the land being utilized for the garden. Students will later use this information to plan the layout of the garden.

NGSS Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.C.7 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.C.7.A Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.

Students plan the garden plot area and calculate the suggested distance between seeds, as well as the amount of water needed for each plant.

NGSS Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.5 Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.

Students will create a grid on the land being utilized to mark off where each section of plants will go based on the best Lucid Chart design. Based on the different areas measured, older students (5th grade) can develop word problems for the younger students (3rd & 4th) to solve regarding area.

Students use statistics and probability to calculate the yield of the fruit and vegetables they plant in the community garden.

NGSS Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5 Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.B Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured andits units of measurement.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.C Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
