TLW estimate the number of seeds in the bag.
TLW sort colored pumpkin seeds into sets and graph the results.
Materials/Arrangements Needed:
bag of colored pumpkin seeds, crayons, pen or pencil, graph
Procedure:
Read Clifford's First Autumn.
Have children discuss the reasons they think pumpkins are
associated with Fall.
Give each pair of children a bag of colored pumpkin seeds and
chart.
Have children estimate the number of seeds in the bag and write it
down.
After estimating, have children take their seeds out of the bag and
count them. Was your prediction the same as the outcome?
Who was the closest?
Sort the seeds according to color.
Have children graph the results. What color has the largest amount of seeds? What color has the least amount of seeds?

Ways to Simplify:
Allow children sort seeds according to color.
Ways to Extend:

seeds.
Allow children to create a pattern with the seeds and see if their
partner can guess what criteria they are using to make the
pattern.
