Pumpkin Math

This week we estimated the circumference of Mrs. K's pumpkin and measured it.  We also scooped out all the seeds.  After a good discussion about why we wouldn't be able to count the seeds in the tub they had been dried in, the students decided it would be best to count the seeds into groups of 10.  First they estimated the number of seeds and then the work began.  The students glued each group of 10 onto card.  They were quick to revise their estimates once we started counting the 10's-excellent!
