How many seeds are inside my pumpkin? This pumpkin seed math activity contains 2 mat formats that are ideal for counting the seeds in a small pumpkin. 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 are designed to help reinforce learning with place value and skip counting by 10s and 100s. Have students make predictions about how may seeds are in their pumpkin and use the mats to test their hypothesis.

Mats Included:

• Mats with guiding circles up to 1000
• Mats without circles up to 1000

The mats with circles guides students to easily place 10 seeds in each section. Students can easily count the number of seeds by placing one seed inside each circle. They will then skip count by 10 to see how many seeds are on their mat.

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.

When Can I Use These Mats?

• Pumpkin Investigation Activity
• Math Center
• Small Group Counting Activity
• Whole Group Counting Activity

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allysa P. says, "This was very helpful as we counted the seeds in our class pumpkin! It helped keep my kiddos on track and organized in their counting. Thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Kristy K. says, "I loved that these worksheets go so high. I thought I would only need to 100 but our pumpkin ended up with 367 seeds. I laminated the sheets and then had the students lay the seeds on the circles. After they were done I just washed the boards off and stored them for next year. Thank you."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Samantha L. says, "This made counting our pumpkin seeds SO much easier. The visual was great to help us count by 10s."

When a player has covered 5 illustrations in a row horizontally, vertically or on a diagonal, they call out "Bingo!" and the caller checks their board.
