π R squared

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Thursday, March 18, 2010

We celebrated π-day in math class today, albeit 4 days late.

First, there were recitations of the digits of π. The two top "reciters" made it up to 75 digits of π. All students were rewarded with a laminated card (see right) to carry in their pocket or purse.

I also made a π apple pie to share with students and one student enthusiastically (and cleverly) molded tin foil in the shape of a π symbol to make a giant π brownie. (see below)




Another student sent this link to me: Pi music to enjoy...

March 14th can't come again too soon.
