Today is the Pi Day of the Century!
Here are some great ways to celebrate Pi with your child
- Build a tower using only round things (circles, spheres, cylinders, cones…) and enter it in the Noggin Builders Pi Day Challenge on Facebook
- Read a book about Pi like Sir Cumference by Cindy Neuschwander or The Librarian Who Measured the Earth by Kathy Lasky
- Explore the size of Pi
- Measure a piece of string that is 3.14 units in length (it doesn’t matter if you measure in inches, centimeters, feet or any other type of measurement)
- Bend it into a loop and measure it to explore that the diameter (length across the center of the circle) is 1 unit.
- Celebrate circles for younger children
- Make a collage of only circles
- Go on a circle hunt
- Find fun facts about Pi, like
- Pi has an infinite number of digits
- Mathematicians around the world use super computers to calculate as many digits as they can. So far the record is about 10 trillion digits!
