The pumpkin patch is always a fun experience in the pre-k class. We were lucky with the weather and had a wonderful time exploring the farms and animals there. The pumpkin fun doesn't end with the field trip, we use the pumpkins for math exploration and science.
We experience math in many different ways in our classroom. We make patterns using shapes, colors and sizes. We count pumpkin seeds, measure pumpkins using tapes measures and unifix cubes, count the lines on the pumpkin and weigh the pumpkin. We use pattern blocks to explore geometric shapes.
