Fun math activity

This month we are doing a simple activity that the boys have really enjoyed.

I bought this amaryllis bulb in the very early bud stage at the beginning of December.  The plant grows quickly and blossoms into a beautiful flower in just a few weeks.  We are keeping a daily chart of the plant’s measurement and how much the plant grew.  I decided to measure in centimeters so there isn’t a need for fractions- we aren’t ready for that yet!  The anticipation of waiting for the flower to bloom keeps them excited to do this each morning.
