Why use a pumpkin theme?

Why pumpkins, you might ask? Well, a pumpkin theme adds a seasonal touch to the learning experience, making math more relatable and enjoyable for children. Fall is a magical season, and what better way to celebrate it than by incorporating pumpkins into our math activities?

Pumpkins are not just symbols of autumn; they also provide a versatile and visually engaging element for learning. The round shape of pumpkins can represent numbers, and their vibrant orange color adds a touch of excitement to the math experience.
