Mr. Tiffen asks his students to guess how  many seeds are in the pumpkins that he brought into the classroom.  Does the number of seeds depend upon the size of the pumpkin?    What are some ways that you can count seeds?

Although there are many math concepts used in this book (counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s; sorting; estimating), it still feels more like  a "story book" than a "math book."



  • Try counting seeds in a pumpkin just as the kids in Mr. Tiffen's class did!  Will you come to the same conclusions as they did?
