Pumpkin Math

We had a great time at our Pumpkin Math party.  We had 8 pumpkins, 4 small and 4 big ones.  The children estimated, weighed, measured, predicted, counted and just had fun!  A HUGE thank you to all the parents who sent in pumpkins and supplies and to the parents who were able to join us for the morning.  Pumpkin Math doesn't happen without great parents!  Thanks again for helping us have a great day!
 Checking out the Pumpkin Math paper and getting started.
 Weighing the pumpkin. Finding the number.
 More weighing.

 Counting the seams.
 Choosing words to describe the pumpkin.

 Dalton is ready to have his pumpkin carved.  He has it all planned out!
 Little Madison and her little pumpkin!  Just as cute as she is!
 What you do when they won't put their hands into the pumpkin...rubber gloves!

 Still counting.
