It seems like this time of year we see lots of pumpkins around. We decided to do some investigating about pumpkins!
First, we estimated how much we thought the pumpkin weighed. We came up with some pretty big numbers! In order to find out how much it weighed, we decided we needed a scale. A scale is a tool that measures weight. We don't have a big scale in our classroom, so we went to the Nurse's office to weigh it on the scale there! It weighed 12 1/2 pounds!
Next we had to estimate how many cubes tall it was. We used unifix cubes (in a pattern, of course!) to measure. The pumpkin was 12 cubes tall.
We also listed words that described the pumpkin and counted the number of lines on the pumpkin.
