Pumpkin Math at Pattengill

Third-grade students in Susan Beech's class at Pattengill Elementary took part in Pumpkin Math on Oct. 30 learning about volume, distance, weight, circumference and diameter by using pumpkins. Talk about a fun way to learn not only math but also science. Here are a few photos from her class. Check out Thursday's A2 Journal for more photos of the students and their hands-on learning experience.
