What educators are saying

In this Halloween math activity with 6 hands-on measuring pumpkins centers, students will estimate, compare, and convert standard and metric measurements for length, volume, mass and weight. Students will make qualitative observations about pumpkins and count the number of seeds inside an average pumpkin. An optional density station is included to explain why pumpkins float. A poster for each station is designed to help students visualize and estimate before measuring. Recording worksheet with scaffolding for conversions included. Many of these stations work best with adult guidance or supervision.
