Class Project

Benny loves vegetables, and especially growing vegetables. Now Benny wants a vegetable poster too. So, Benny asks Chimp to make up a vegetable game for him too. He hopes it will be a vegetable garden game for the class to enjoy. Chimp thinks about it for a little while. He looks at Benny’s drawings of vegetable gardens.

Pammie and Tammie are still watching them. Tammie has an idea. She thinks that they can turn Benny’s game into a math game.

Tammie explains her ideas...

First, put in three rows of carrots with six carrots planted in each row.

That would be labeled
3 x 6 = 18.

Then they could “plant” four rows of string bean vines with three vines in each row. That would be labeled
4 x 3 = 12.

Finally, there would be two rows of corn with eight corn stalks planted in each row.

That would be labeled 2 x 8 = 16.
