Pumpkin Math is always one of my favorite activities! The children have a bunch of fun and practice many math and science skills! We observe, estimate, weigh, measure, and count! This year we had 6 pumpkins with 7 parents and 1 grandparent joining us to complete our activities!
This year the parents did a really good job helping the children work through their Pumpkin Math sheets and made sure they recorded their estimates before they weighed and measured.
We used unifix cubes to measure the height of our pumpkins,
We counted the seams.
This year I added a new discovery...does a pumpkin sink or float?
Pumpkins Float! Who knew?
We estimated the circumference using a piece of yarn. Then we measured with a tape measure.
Then came the fun of designing how we wanted to carve the pumpkins!
Digging out the gooey insides of the pumpkin and counting seeds!
Let the carving begin!
Keep counting those seeds!
Alyssa found seeds in her pumpkin that were already beginning to sprout!
Keep counting those seeds!
100 seeds!
Jack-o-Lanterns!

The children did a fantastic job!
