What do you think?
1) Have you ever counted anything that had that many?
2) About how many pieces of pasta do you think were in just one box?
3) Do you count things in your job or during school?
On Wednesday we counted pasta. Each table counted a box of pasta. We had four tables counting pasta. We put the pasta in groups of tens in cups. Then we put 10 cupfuls into bowls to make one hundred. When the tables were done counting we put all of the pasta together. Once we got 10 hundreds we put them in a giant bowl and that was 1,000. Our total number was 1,528. That's a lot of pasta!! What do you think? 1) Have you ever counted anything that had that many? 2) About how many pieces of pasta do you think were in just one box? 3) Do you count things in your job or during school?
