One mat formats has circles for students to place their seeds in and the other format has lines where students will place ten seeds. Both sets of mats can accommodate up to 1000 seeds.

These mats make a great addition to a pumpkin investigation activity. Students can make an hypothesis about the number of seeds in their pumpkin, guess the number of seeds from seeing the seeds being removed from the pumpkin, then they can use the mats to count the actual number of seeds.
