Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
A huge thank you to the 5 parents that came into our classroom to help with our Pumpkin investigations on Halloween. Our class divided into 5 different groups, each with their own unique pumpkin to learn about. We measured the height of our pumpkins, the circumference and the weight. We were shocked to discover one of our pumpkins weighed 30lbs! (Mrs. Bradley's scale wasn't set to metric). We also made predictions about how many seeds our pumpkins had and tested to see if our pumpkins could float. After our parent volunteers left, we were left with piles of pumpkin seeds that we needed to count. Fortunately, our Math learning target had been efficiently counting and making groups of 10. We applied what we knew and started counting. Our tables were covered in piles of pumpkin seeds! We took the data we collected and created a graph to display our findings. We quickly encountered a problem when we discovered we had significantly more seeds than numbers on our graph. Some quick thinking later and we relabelled our graph to count by 25s so we could fit all of our numbers.
