If you look at the date and time to have an ultimate Pi Day celebration, it lines up perfectly with the first 10 digits of Pi!
I've found some activities you can use in class (and you don't have to be a math teacher):
- TED-Ed video lesson: Mile of Pi
- NEA Math Resources
- Edutopia Classroom Resources
- Educannon Bulb
Mensa Foundation Educational Programs has some interesting cross-disciplinary resources:
- Pi Template
- Easy Pi Day Cupcakes Recipe
- Making Pi a Law (Pseudo Bill)
- Make Music Out of Pi
- Poetry and other Writing Activities using the TP-CASTT method to analyze
Excerpt of the Poem "Pi" by Wislawa Szymborska
The admirable number pi:
three point one four one.
All the following digits are also just a start,
five nine two because it never ends.
It can't be grasped, six five three five, at a glance,
eight nine, by calculation,
seven nine, through imagination,
or even tree two three eight in jest, or by comparison
four six to anything
two six four three in the world.
