Last week we used our pumpkin to explore some math counting tools. We used a bar graph to determine what kind of shapes we should cut for the eyes, nose and mouth. We estimated (made a good guess) how many seeds were inside the pumpkin and then used ten frames to count the seeds we collected.
Students noted that:
NT: You have to pick something, the one with lots of stickers is the one we choose.
RM: Graphs have one thing, we have a weather graph and we have a pumpkin graph. I like our carved pumpkin so much.
ME: we can read it by looking at it. One of them has lots of stickers.
DC: The first one have to go at the bottom.
KW: I put it down right by line.
WK: You put it at the top of their sticker
KLY: It’s for counting.
SL: This is so cute pumpkin.
CC: I like our pumpkin.
NT: That was fun carving it. We be quiet and calm when Ms. Cheung use the knife.
LK: We put one seed.
HN: We take turns.
Can you estimate how many seeds were in our pumpkin?
