In math there is something called PI. Pi is 3.141592653589793738462643 and it keeps going forever! Instead of math class we wore our PI t-shirts that we decorated, we sang songs like 3.14159, lose yourself (in the digits), and Pi Pi mathematical Pi. We also saw a video about a guy that memorized 22,000 numbers of PI in 5 hours (wow).
Now we have to work on a circle project that has 4 sections in it. The 1st section we had to create a design of circles, using a compass. For the 2nd selection you have to write down definitions of pi, radius, circumference, diameter, and formulas for the area of a circle and circumference of a circle. In the 3rd selection you have to cut out pictures of circles that you can get from magazines, clip art, or draw. For the last selection you have to draw a perfect circle, measure it, label the radius, diameter, and circumference. Then, figure out the area and circumference of your circle.
PI is the circumference of a circle. Did you know that there is no perfect circle that is made by nature in the world! Pi was made by the Greek’s alphabet in the 1600 hundreds. Just remember that there are two different kinds of pies (PI and pie)! Just have fun with PI (pie). J
PS. Happy PI {Pie} day!!
