Counting Pumpkin Seeds

Each class had four pumpkins of varying sizes, and were given the job of predicting and then counting the seeds in each pumpkin. Most groups chose to count the seeds in groups of tens, although some counted by ones, twos, and fives. It was a big (messy) job! We were surprised to learn that the largest pumpkins didn't have the most seeds, and some pumpkins had over 400 seeds in them!
