Measuring Spuds–Day 2

This morning a new child measured our three designated potato plants to see if they grew overnight.  And if they did, how much?

                                      Plant #1 grew 3 cubes.

                                     Plant #2 only grew 2 1/2 cubes.

                               Plant #3 grew just two cubes.

This was an awesome and fun math activity.  Next time, so more children could take part, I would give them a plant of their own to measure and track.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to continue as today was our last day before Spring Break and I added the rest of the soil.
