Our class started grasping multiplication concepts thanks to M&M's!

We used the candy to build arrays to help us visualize the concept of

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Our class enjoyed our walk to the pumpkin patch.  Watching the students shop for the best bargain was exciting.  The students had to decide whether or not to buy one large pumpkin or several small ones.  We measured the circumference and weight of our pumpkins.  We wrapped up by writing a letter from the pumpkin's point of view.
