Today we finally got to dig in to our pumpkins and count the seeds. Yesterday each team measured their pumpkins, made a prediction, and planned their group work. Today we carried out our plans. Most teams chose to count by tens and assigned jobs. After counting up the seeds in each pumpkin we learned about place value and used manipulatives to find the total number of seeds in all our pumpkins. There were 2,848 seeds! The day was filled with many other pumpkin activities, including snacking on our pumpkin seeds in the afternoon.
Thanks to all who were able to send in a pumpkin for us to use! We appreciate your support.
