| Thanks So Much To Everyone Who Sent In A Pumpkin! |
Today we began participating in some pumpkin math activities. There are so many math possibilities when it comes to pumpkins!
Using yarn, students measured the circumference of their pumpkin. Then they measured the yarn using a ruler.
Each student estimated the circumference first, and then figured out the difference between their estimate and the actual circumference.
Each student also estimated the weight of their pumpkin, then weighed themself and then got on the scale holding the pumpkin to figure out its actual weight. A few of the pumpkins were so heavy it was challenging to hold for more than a few moments!
Our activities today also consisted of predicting and counting the vertical lines on a pumpkin and some creative writing. Some of the math vocabulary covered today during this lesson includes: circumference, distance, difference, estimate, vertical, subtraction and decimal.
