Pumpkin Investigations

Wednesday was a day full of pumpkins.  We began by reading the following story:

The students worked in groups of 3 or 4 to first make observations of their pumpkin through their senses.


Next, they measured their pumpkin in various ways using both non. standard and standard measurement.





Lastly, they estimated how many seeds would be in their pumpkin, made a plan for carving, 
scooped out the pulp...




and made it into a jack-o-lantern. 





After seeing how many seeds came out of just one pumpkin, we decided to count what came out of only one.  Everyone helped to make groups of ten, circled the piles...


and our total was 591!!
