description: For curious kids this explores skip counting and estimation in a fun pumpkin-themed classroom experiment. How many seeds are in a pumpkin? Mr. Tiffin asks his class as they gather around the big medium and small pumpkins on his desk. Robert the biggest kid guesses that the largest one has a million seeds; Elinor sounding like she knows what she's talking about guesses the medium one has 500 seeds; and Anna who likes even numbers better than odd ones guesses that the little one has 22. Charlie the smallest boy in the class doesn't have a guess. Counting pumpkin seeds is messy business but once the slimy job is done... well you'll have to read and find out!
