Pumpkin Math

We use pumpkins a lot during the month of October in all curriculum areas. One book that I have found most useful for math lessons involving pumpkins is How Many Seeds In A Pumpkin by Margaret McNamara. The story introduces words used for length, counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's, and touches on sorting and grouping. My students love to hear the story and we do a lot of the same activities that are in the story in our classroom as well.
