Have students locate books about quilts and read them. Give the students a template for a quilt with rows of squares. Students color the quilt in a pattern of their choosing and give the fractional part of the quilt that each color represents. Have students design a garden for the school. Divide the garden into equal parts using string and sticks.
Students can make a map of the garden on paper.
Have students research the type of plants that would grow best in their garden and draw these plants on the map. Students should then tell the fractional part of the garden that each type of plant will cover.
