Measuring a sunflower’s growth

Mei’s sunflower turns an everyday gardening activity into an introduction to measurement. As the plant grows, its height is compared with familiar parts of Mei’s body, giving the story a concrete way to explore changing size. The book connects number concepts with observation and discovery, and its hands-on activities extend that exploration beyond the story for children and grown-ups to try together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 exploring early math concepts
  • Families seeking activities that connect math with everyday experiences
  • Young readers interested in plants, gardening, and watching things grow

Book overview

Caldecott Honor winner Grace Lin celebrates math for every kid, everywhere!

Mei explores measurement as she plants a sunflower seed and watches it grow. The plant starts off as tall as her toe, but soon it's up to her knees, then her waist, then her shoulders. How tall will it get?

Storytelling Math celebrates children using math in their daily adventures as they play, build, and discover the world around them. Joyful stories and hands-on activities make it easy for kids and their grown-ups to explore everyday math together. Developed in collaboration with math experts at STEM education nonprofit TERC, under a grant from the Heising-Simons Foundation.
