NATIONAL Pi DAY
I came across this gem on a home-schooling mailing list:
Today is national Pi day, to be celebrated as 3/14, 1:59 pm (Remember kiddies, pi=3.14159265.......)
Back in my youth, somewhere around 11 or so, I found I was the only kid I knew who could memorize Pi to the 12th digit (who could forget the 'exercise' Mr. Spock gave to the Enterprise's computer?) ... later on I realized the reason I was the only one was because everyone else thought it stupid.
Regardless, Pi has always been a fav of mine.
I only started mining the internet this morning, but here's a couple of resources:
- Pi scavenger hunt, along with some resources: www.expage.com/piinfo
- Lesson on circle circumfrences www.mathgoodies.com
- Pi Day songs: mathforum.org
- (another pi day song for Beatles fans....
Now where did I leave my compass...?
