Since the kids will probably only remember the party....this morning we looked again at the pumpkin seeds. Yesterday, we estimated that there were 336 pumpkin seeds. We reevaluated our estimate after actually seeing the seeds. We revised our estimate to 166. Then we counted! Here are a few pictures:
The actual count was 512 pumpkin seeds. We discovered that the best way to count such a large number was to put them in groups of ten. As I was walking around, I loved hearing the math language: "Put them in groups!" "Let's count by two's...five's...ten's."
I'm working on the video to post with our online pumpkin project, so look on the blog later tonight or tomorrow. I'll include the halloween party, but here are a few pictures:
