Pumpkins

So much fun doing math with pumpkins! We did some mindful drawings, measuring, and counting. I didn’t get a chance to do the real measurements in class with the students. It would be great if you could do this with your children at home this weekend. We did estimations, using a finger as a mark for a cm. 


A translation of the measurements:


The height of the pumpkin.

The height of the stem. 

The distance around the pumpkin. 

The distance from the stem to the ‘belly button’ (bottom). 

The thickness of the skin. 

The thickness of the flesh. 

The number of lines.
