Welcome to the Pumpkin Seed
Counting Project
hosted by Jennifer
Wagner at Jenuintech.com Projects.com!!
This project is now over.
Join us next year on 10/31!!
This project involved
PreK - 3rd grade classes from the U.S.A. & Canada
The main objective of this
project was to
reinforce both math and estimation skills.
Classrooms chose
ONE PUMPKIN that
weighed between 1 pound and 5 lbs
or
.45 grams to 2.26 kilograms.
(on how many pumpkin seeds would be inside the pumpkin.)
This number was recorded for future use.
They
cut open the pumpkin
and counted ALL the seeds which wer in
that pumpkin. This number was recorded for future use.
Each
class compared their estimate
to the final count and determined the difference.
The class submitted the
Exact Count to the data collection board.
Extra activities were provided for teacher use.
This project also incoporated
the books,
"The
Biggest Pumpkin Ever" by Steven Kroll
and
How
Many Seeds in a Pumpkin by Margaret McNamara
