Pumpkin Math


What better way to learn about measurement than to have some fun with
pumpkins! The week was filled with learning about units of measure (inch,
foot, centimeter, ounce, pound), using a ruler, scale, and tape measure,
estimation, addition, subtraction, comparing numbers using greater than,
less than, and equal to, and use of correct labels and vocabulary terms.
The children learned
to work in cooperative partnerships as they traveled to the weigh station,
height station, and circumference station. They measured and weighed and
checked and rechecked. They followed directions as they traveled from
station to station and were enthralled with the fun of it all. The data
collection sheet was one that required them to really read, think,
understand, and do. It was challenging and everyone had a blast!
