Math


 * For math, try:** Seed Sense
 * Focus skills:** Estimation, counting
 * What to do:** Select pumpkins of various sizes and display them in the classroom. Working in groups, have students collect data on the weight, height, and circumference of each pumpkin. Then ask students to estimate the number of seeds in each pumpkin and record their guesses on a sheet of paper along with their names. Once all the guesses have been collected, hold a “Counting Day” to tally the seeds. Divide the class into teams to count, record, and report the number of seeds in their assigned pumpkin. As a fun treat, let the student whose guess is closest take home that pumpkin.
