We continue to develop strategies to solve authentic and meaningful math problems focused on our Vista Heights Community Garden. Our math challenge today involved developing formulas using variable to calculate the area and perimeter of rectangles.  How did you calculate the area of our new garden designs that we created in our Math Workshop? Are you able to apply your understanding of these concepts in your house?
