Garden Planting
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to select and record the height in whole centimetres of different pairs of plants and flowers that have been planted in a family garden.
The class can explain and model how to partition the selected numbers into their sets of tens and ones to make it easier to add the measurements in centimetres together to calculate each height.
