Well done on completing another excellent SLJ activity, "Weird and Wonderful". I really loved the way you explained every step of your maths equation. You're absolutely right that the cactus would need 1095 mls of water in a year to survive. It really isn't very much, is it?
I did a bit of research myself, and due to the African desert often having one downpour of rain every few weeks, a cactus soaks up the water and stores it until the next downpour. This means it can feed itself the 3ml of water every day. What an intelligent plant that is.
Did you do some of these maths equations with your class last year? I am really proud to see that you are working on your math and literacy skills over the summer by participating in the Summer Learning Journey. Keep up the awesome work, Fatima.
Kia ora Fatima,
