Pumpkin Week - Pumpkin Estimation


We needed to figure out how many pumpkins were in the jar.

On our pumpkin matts, we each had 10 of the candy pumpkins to help us with the look of the volume of 10 candy pumpkins.

After seeing what 20, 30, 40, 50 candy pumpkins looks like, we adjusted our estimates.  
After seeing what 100 candy pumpkins looked like, we adjusted our estimate.  

Our third estimate was our final.

Mary's estimate was 240 and there were 239 in the jar. Mary won the whole jar of pumpkin candy!
