3 Background Zoo horticulturalists use math every day, not only to accomplish their work, but also to plan ahead. It takes planning to make the landscape bloom with color and beauty each spring. Not only do the horticulturalists design which bulbs will be planted where and how many, they also have to manage the budget. Activity Have students follow the directions on their worksheets to figure out the area of the planters, the number of bulbs to be planted, and how much it will cost. Assessment Have the students turn in their worksheets and assess them. This activity illustrates how math is part of a horticulturalist s planning. It also gives students the opportunity to practice applying the formulas for areas of rectangles and triangles, and calculating percentages. Zoo Math Days: Bulb Garden Planning, May 2009 Page 3 of 11

5 Zoo Math Days: Bulb Garden Planning Student Page You are a Zoo horticulturalist and are designing bulb gardens to brighten up the planters in front of Guest Relations. The first task is to determine the area of the planters. 1) Measure all sides of each planter. (Planters are not drawn to scale. A indicates a right angle.) A4 A1 A2 A3 A5 2) Break up each planter into rectangles and triangles. Find the areas of each shape using these equations. w h l b Area of a rectangle: A = l x w Area of a right triangle: A = (b x h) / 2 Zoo Math Days: Bulb Garden Planning, May 2009 Page 5 of 11
6 3) Add together to find the total area of the planters. Your answer should be in square feet (hint: 144 in 2 = 1 ft 2 ). Now imagine that you ll be filling the planters with bulbs that will grow and flower in the spring. Each bulb species needs the proper amount of space to grow and thrive in the garden. Bulb Species Number of bulbs per ft 2 Crocus 16 Miniature daffodil 6 Tulip 4 4) Your design calls for 40% of the area to be crocus, 30% to be miniature daffodil, and 30% to be tulips. Determine how many of each bulb you ll need to plant. Now you need to calculate the cost of purchasing the bulbs. The table below provides wholesale pricing for bulbs. Bulb Species Price per bulb Crocus $0.25 Miniature daffodil $0.35 Tulip $0.40 5) Calculate the total cost of the bulbs. Zoo Math Days: Bulb Garden Planning, May 2009 Page 6 of 11
7 6) Calculate shipping for the bulbs. Shipping is 9% the cost of the bulbs. 7) Calculate a 6% sales tax on the combined bulb and shipping costs. 8) Add the sales tax to the combined bulb and shipping costs for a grand total. Congratulations! You ve completed your bulb garden planning. Zoo Math Days: Bulb Garden Planning, May 2009 Page 7 of 11
