Pumpkin math is a seasonal treat

Today is a great day to do some pumpkin math with your child! Get a pumpkin, and have your child: Estimate how much the pumpkin weighs. Weigh the pumpkin, and then add or subtract to see how much heavier or lighter it is than the estimate. Estimate, and then measure, how many inches the pumpkin is around at its widest point (its circumference). Then, cut the pumpkin open and have your child count its seeds by fives, 10s and 20s.
