- Ensure it gets adequate sunlight
- Observe its growth over days and weeks
Observations to Note:
- The sapling develops new leaves
- It grows taller
- It may eventually bear vegetables
Documentation:
- Draw or take pictures of the growing sapling
- Share observations about how plants need water, sunlight, and care to grow.
Explanation
This project work connects mathematics learning with real-life experience of growing vegetables. Students observe the life cycle of plants, develop responsibility through caring for the sapling, and can later count vegetables produced, connecting back to the chapter theme of vegetable farm.
