# Ultimate Collection of Pumpkin Math Ideas for K-12

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” (Anne of Green Gables, chapter 16). Living in the gorgeous mountains of east Tennessee, I can deeply resonate with Anne’s sentiment. Fall is the most beautiful time of the year here, and I love everything about it. But one of the things I love most (and definitely the thing my kids love most) is pumpkins. The excitement of going to a farm and exploring, picking out the very best one. Discovering the variety in shapes, sizes and colors. It makes my heart happy. ðŸ™‚ So of course, you know I’m going to have an idea or two (or ten) for learning math with pumpkins! So whatever the ages of your kids, you are bound to find some fun pumpkin math to explore in this list.
