Spooky Friday Math

Today in math the students investigated a pumpkin.  We estimated the weight of our class pumpkin, the height, and how many lines on it.  Then, we found out the actual results.  Below are some photos of kids investigating.

Estimating how much will this pumpkin weigh?

It weighs 12 pounds!

Ghost Estimation

At one of the math stations today students did a Ghost Estimation paper using popcorn.  First, they had to estimate how many pieces will fit inside the ghost.  Then, they put pieces of popcorn on and found out the actual number.  Of course they got to eat the popcorn when the math was completed!

Counting how many pieces of popcorn will cover the ghost.

So happy!

Busy counting and busy eating!
