Description

The 16-page educational newspaper highlights California's vibrant and diverse agricultural industry with current and accurate information. A variety of activities, trivia, graphics and readings provide something for every learner (geared for grades 3-8). Activities are aligned to California State Education Standards. The most recent issue, Celebrating California's Top Ten, showcases agriculture by celebrating the state's ten most valuable commodities: milk, almonds, grapes, cattle, strawberries, walnuts, lettuce, hay, tomatoes, and nursery plants. Each page includes a STEM activity, highlighting how science, technology, engineering and math play a role in the journey from farm to fork. A career spotlight helps students discover the many opportunities agriculture provides.

Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
