Saturday, March 14. is considered “the Ultimate Pi Day” for all of us living on planet earth in the year 2015. Unless you are 100 years old, you haven’t experienced this day in your lifetime, since it only rolls around once every 100 years! Here is why it’s the “ultimate” Pi Day…
Saturday’s date COULD be written 3.14.15 and, at exactly 9:26:53 a.m., we will experience the first 10 digits of the irrational number Pi: 3.14.15 9:26:53.
Mrs. Delicath’s Seventh Class math students anticipated Pi Day by watching a couple of videos that discuss the history of and significance of Pi, then listened to two musical compositions about Pi (one was a rap and one was a parody of “American Pie”). Check out some of the students’ impromptu, creative representations of Pi:
