Pi Day celebrates the mathematical number π (pi) 3.14.
A Pi Day celebration, organized by our sixth grade math teacher, is held on March 14 (better known as 3/14) if it's a school day, or a day close to 3/14.
On Pi Day students learn about pi by reading a story, measuring the circumferences and diameters of circles, and recording the ratios. They confirm that pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter no matter how big or small the circle is.
Students are asked to memorize as many digits of pi as they can. They enjoy the challenge and can be heard reciting digits to each other during homeroom and break. Most students learn at least a few digits, and in the past, some have learned dozens!
PI DAY CHALLENGE
Each math class holds an in-class pi-memorization contest and enjoys circular treats donated by parents (thanks, parents!). The top representative from each 6th grade math class competes in a final contest and all of these finalists get a certificate.
These 6th grade students met their second quarter AR goals and will be awarded with an after school celebration of movie, snacks, and games.
Way to go and keep reading, sixth grade! Finish strong!
