How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?


We spent time in math listening to a story titled, How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? The main character, Charlie, opens pumpkins with his teacher and friends, and then proceeds to count the seeds inside.
The first day of this project included us opening two pumpkins. Some seeds were large, and some were small! We dug deep in the pumpkins to claim any remaining seeds. Then we separated the pulp from the seeds, and will count them by 2s, 5s, and 10s this week. I can't wait to learn which pumpkin has the most seeds!
