Be a Pumpkin Detective - Math

By Sparking Children's Thinkibility

Grades Kindergarten - 2nd Grade

Be inspired by Pumpkins! 

How many seeds are in a pumpkin?
Ask your friends and family to estimate.
Estimation is a tricky concept but it is an important skill that is very useful when you go shopping.


 
This booklet contains a range of worksheets, some that require basic number skills, while others are a bit more complex.

Fun activities where the children are asked to make up their own math problems. Children often enjoy creating their own problems. This approach requires a deeper reflection upon numbers and basic arithmetic operations as compared to only providing an answer.

Pumpkin-inspired multiplication and division cards. Students can make their own problems.

1. Make a tally - How many seeds are in a pumpkin?
2. Add and give away pumpkins
3. Building blocks

4. Make up your own problems
5. Multiplication and division cards.

Color and black and white versions.
