How Many Pumpkin Seeds?




The children estimated how many seeds in a small, medium, and large pumpkin. The class discussed their math reasoning for their estimates. Many students predicted the larger pumpkin would have the most seeds, and several students thought that the smaller pumpkin had the most.
The class worked together to scoop, group, and count the seeds in each pumpkin.
Ask your child what surprised him or her about the results from our pumpkin activity!
(Thank you Susie Metrick for donating the pumpkins and for helping with this Math activity.)
