Photo Gallery - Pi Day - March 14, 2007 - Grades 7 and 8
7th and 8th Grade students in Mr. Hare and Mrs. Wild's math classes recently celebrated Pi Day. Pi Day is a day to celebrate the mathematical constant Pi (π). Pi is an irrational number approximately equal to 3.14, and therefore is observed on March 14th. During math classes, the students measured various everyday circular items, first finding the circumference, and then the diameter. When dividing the circumference by the diameter, students found that no matter what size their circle was, they got pi, or approximately 3.14 as the resulting quotient! Students also brought in some circular treats, including cookies, and of course, pie!
