Math Mania!

It seems like I post math photos often. It's one of my favorite parts of the day. Math station time is consistently a productive, happy learning time in our room. Today we enjoyed some fun Fall/Halloween-related math activities. 

We honed our estimation skills through our "Pumpkin Investigation Books." How much do you think this pumpkin weighs? How many lines does it have? How tall is it? (14 lbs, 25 lines, and 17 inches from base to top of stem--if my memory serves...). :-)

Graphing M&Ms by color...a yummy way to practice an important math skill!

Measuring using a non-standard measurement tool--candy corns! 

Students each cut a piece of yarn they thought would fit the circumference of the pumpkin--they then checked to see how close their estimates were.
