Garden Grid

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Garden Grid lesson plan also includes:
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping, graphing, and calculating both area and perimeter of the garden. The publisher of this resource claims that over 60 Common Core standards can be met over grades K-8, however, you will need to read through it carefully and determine which are actually feasible for your specific grade level and subject needs.
