Pumpkin Seed Counting Project 2007

     Mrs. Sherrie Wilson (MHES) and Mrs. Lewis (ITRT) took part in the Pumpkin Seed Counting Project
hosted by Jennifer Wagner at Technospud Projects.com!!  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 weighted between 1 pound and 5 lbs or 45 grams to 2.26 kilograms.  Our pumpkin was 4 lbs.

     Each
class created one CLASS ESTIMATE  (on how many pumpkin seeds would be inside the pumpkin.)  This number was recorded for future use.  Students in our class estimated between 5 and 700 seeds.  We cut open the pumpkin and counted ALL the seeds which are in it.  We counted 423 seeds.

     The class submitted the Exact Count to the data collection board.  To view the results of all participating classes, click here.  We decorated our pumpkin to look like a clown.  We had a lot of fun!  Click here to read our stories about this wonderful project!
