Our class pumpkin Jack also helped us do some counting.  We really wanted to know how many seeds were inside Jack.  We decided that the easiest way to count a large number of seeds was to put them in groups of 10.  Here we are counting the seeds.

We were amazed to find that our tiny pumpkin Jack contained 338 seeds.  We learned the size of a pumpkin is not indicative of the number of seeds that are inside.  We know that there are more seeds in darker orange pumpkins and pumpkins that have a lot of lines on the outside.
