Pumpkin Investigation

We were very excited to open our pumpkin today that we had gotten from from Mrs. Harmann's farm back at the beginning of October!!
Before we opened our pumpkin we described our pumpkin, predicted how many lines were on the outside of the pumpkin, counted to the lines to get an actual answer, measured how tall our pumpkin was with unifix cubes, measured the circumference of our pumpkin using links and filled out most of our pumpkin reports!

We opened our pumpkin and made a prediction for how many seeds we thought were inside!  Wow!  We guessed some pretty large numbers!!

We split the seeds up among our color tables and worked collaboratively to count sets of 10 seeds into individual cups.  When we were all done we counted all of the cups of seeds by 10's and discovered our pumpkin had 498 seeds inside!!!  Wow!!!!

We had so much fun!!
