Post Pi Day Fun

Today we got to play Sharks and Minnows on the field with our friends from 6D. After that we got to watch the boy and girl who memorized the most digits of pi through real pies at Dr. Trusty. What a great afternoon!




Happy Pi Day!!

Today, March 14th (3/14), is Pi Day. Usually we are on spring break on this particular day. We celebrated pi by measuring the circumference and diameter of different circles and noticing that the circumference was always about 3.14 times the diameter. We also had a competition to see who could memorize the most digits of pi. The winner will throw a pie at Dr. Trusty tomorrow. Lastly, we made bracelets to represent the first twenty digits of pi. Each digit corresponded to a different color bead. This provided a visual representation of pi and made it easy for the students to see that the digits in pi do not follow any pattern. Here are some pictures of the bracelet making activity.
