Idea details:
I use math in many different ways. One way I have used math is when I plant. I measure the amount if stones that need to go on the bottom of the pot. Then, I measure how much soil gets put in the pot. After, that I measure how far down the seed should be in the soil. I also estimate how seeds I put in the hole so I can get the probability of how many seeds will grow. Lastly, I measure how much water the plants should get.
I also have to convert The English System to the Metric System. I wouldn't want to kill the plant because I give them a 1 fl oz of water instead of a liter.
