Humongous Vegetables

Humongous vegetables can inspire and awaken your mathematicians to the large math concepts in our Common Core standards. What is the secret to growing such gargantuan garden objects in Alaska? In the state that is closest to the North Pole, the length of the growing season and the average monthly daylight hours are extreme factors. This instructional activity is full of engaging questions and interesting information about Alaskan farming. Teachers will appreciate the wealth of information, charts and tables that are helpful in implementing the activity in the classroom.
