Pumpkin Seed Count!

It was "pumpkin math" all week for the math teams of Azzolina, Gosch, and Goral! We estimated the amount of seeds we thought our three pumpkins contained, found adjectives to describe the outside and inside of each pumpkin, and counted the lines around the pumpkins. Did you know that pumpkins with many lines have many seeds? Our medium sized pumpkin had 28 lines and yielded 703 seeds. Students counted seeds by 2's, 5's, and 10's. Of course, we carved the pumpkins too! Mrs. Gosch's pumpkin was the polygon pumpkin...ask your child to describe a polygon! Ms. Azzolina's pumpkin was the Abe Lincoln pumpkin. Ms. Goral's group made a funny pumpkin.
