How much money can you make growing and harvesting exotic flowers? In order to be a professional grower, you need to order decimals, convert fractions to percentages and decimals, and more. The better you are at these skills, the stronger and more interesting flowers will develop. This activity doesn’t require a login; however, teachers can create an account and add student information so that scores can be saved. Be sure to check out the Achievements section which lists math skills practiced at each level.
In the Classroom
Use this site on a projector or interactive whiteboard to discuss and informally assess prior knowledge as you start your study of percentages, decimals or fractions. Use on the interactive whiteboard as a springboard for classroom discussion on conversions of decimals, fractions and percentages. Install as a center on classroom computers for student practice of skills. Share this link on your class website for students to use both in and out of the classroom.
At Home
Rather than a video game, challenge your student to try a hand at growing and harvesting exotic flowers (while practicing math).
