Easy as Pi(e)

by Nicole Ayers and Erin Hobson, Middle School Math & Science

“What is a math teacher’s favorite dessert? Pi!”

The 6th and 7th graders got together during math class on 3/14 to celebrate the number pi, which is approximated as 3.14. Students brought pie and other round treats to measure the circumference and diameter. When they divided the circumference by the diameter, they found pi! Students also played a fun trivia game on Gimkit to test their knowledge and learn new facts about the history of pi. Of course, we had to enjoy pizza (pie) for lunch to “round” out the celebration!
