Each village hosts the market on a different day of the week, so that people can do their shopping without missing their own local market.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0a1766;\">Guatemalan Gardens<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the mountain village of\u00a0Santa Avelina, <strong>Guatemala<\/strong>, gardens are typically planted on the corner of the family property, often next to the kitchen building. Kitchens are in a separate location because these indigenous Maya descendants cook over open fires or on a wood-burning stove. These gardens do not have fences because they are protected by family members and their dogs, pigs, and roosters.<\/p>\n<p>Herbs get a slightly different treatment. A woven spiked fence surrounds every herb garden, protecting them from the same pigs and chickens that guard the other crops.<\/p>\n<p>These gardens offer good opportunities to use\u00a0math\u00a0in a real-world setting. Suppose you&#8217;re going to construct a fence that is 48 fist lengths long. If you want to have the widest gate possible, how much space should you leave for an opening?<\/p>\n<p><em>Have a suggestion for this story?
