Pumpkin Estimation!

On Friday, October 31, as part of our Fall Festival we completed lots of estimation activities! First we estimated how many objects were in a series of paper bags.  Students had to estimate how many leaves, erasers, pieces of candy corn, etc. were in a bag and then found the difference between their estimates and the actual.  Next, we guessed how many seeds were in a pumpkin! Each group got a pile of seeds to count and then we added them all together.  What a great afternoon of fun and math!
