Math investigations for use in a school garden connected to the Grades 1-6 Ontario Mathematics Curriculum (number sense and numeration, measurement, and data management). This garden math unit was developed to make mathematics more holistic (using all of the senses). There are eight investigations and each contains ideas for most grades from 1-6 within that skill or concept. This allows teachers to consider the range of knowledge and ability within a concept for students who may need support or enrichment. It can be used in conjunction with textbooks to add practice and skill development. There are many benefits to gardening with students, the exercise, the healthy food, the fresh air and sunshine, but it is difficult for teachers to meet curriculum goals while doing special projects like gardening. This unit is meant to accommodate teachers who would like to meet curriculum goals while gardening with their class.

Each investigation in this book asks a question and presents a plan of action. None has a single 'right answer, ' yet all can be answered in some way. There's no answer key--it's up to students to use their critical thinking skills and number sense to evaluate their work and the work of their classmates. It's up to you to help them recognize and apply the math ideas embedded in every investigation, such as patterns and relationships, computation, estimation, measurement, statistics, and proportional reasoning.- from the book.Grades 5-8.

"Kids love to move. But how do we harness all that kinetic energy effectively for math learning? In Math on the Move, Malke Rosenfeld shows how pairing math concepts and whole body movement creates opportunities for students to make sense of math in entirely new ways. Malke shares her experience creating dynamic learning environments by: exploring the use of the body as a thinking tool, highlighting mathematical ideas that are usefully explored with a moving body, providing a range of entry points for learning to facilitate a moving math classroom. ..."--Publisher description.
