Pumpkin Seed Estimation Sheet

You can use this to supplement a seed estimation activity. Teacher places a handful of seeds on the paper and student estimates how many seeds are on the pumpkin. This would, of course, be followed up by counting the seeds to see if the estimated number was correct, or if it was more or less than the estimate.

The one-page sheet has a large pumpkin outline with teacher and student directions. At the bottom, students write the answer to How many pumpkin seeds did you estimate?
