Sunny Hill students participate in Pumpkin Project

Mrs. Anna Roberts’ math classes at Sunny Hill participated in a National Project Pumpkin Activity. The students were asked to estimate the weight, circumference, and number of seeds in the three pumpkins placed on their table. The students then weighed, measured circumference, and dug out and counted the number of seeds in each pumpkin. Each student was asked to record their estimations and exact measurements. This data was then registered on www.theteacherscorner.net. Schools from all over the United States participated in this activity, and the local classes were able to compare their results with the other schools.
