Pi Day

Pi Day is an annual American celebration that honors the mathematical constant, pi. We celebrated it on 3/14 since 3, 1, 4 are the three most significant digits of pi, 3.14. The 5th graders helped us measure the circumference and diameter of circles to find pi,  which is approximately 3.14159. It was fun to see the kids use their math skills to see how close they could get to pi by dividing the circumference by the diameter of the circles!
