Happy Pi Day everyone! I remember thinking this holiday was really cool when I was younger. We let out our inner nerds, drank soda, and ate a pizza pie in class. Earlier this week I whetted your mathy appetite when I shared how I turned Pi into wearable art. My super easy and colorful Pi Day Bracelets were made by stringing different colored beads according to the digits in Pi. Today I'm celebrating Pi Day with two colorful and geometric pieces of Pi Day Inspired Artwork. "Easy As Pi" Artwork! And if you have younger preschool aged children, check out my 5 easy ways to celebrate Pi Day with Preschoolers! Now let's celebrate your inner nerd and create some fun artwork to brighten up your wall. Let's get started! Materials Needed to Make Pi Artwork: Paper (I used Watercolor) Markers Pencil Ruler Something with a long straight edge Eraser Protractor Large circular object Printout of Pi's digits Color codes (To relate Pi's digits to specific colors) Draw Polka Dot Pi Inspired Artwork: 1. Place a small dash at every inch along all four sides of your paper. Then connect the dashes to make a grid. 2. Using your color codes, draw a dot (whose color corresponds with Pi's digit) at every other inch mark. Use an eraser to erase your pencil markings. Draw Pi As a Colorful Network: 1. Trace your circular object. 2. Make a mark every 36 degrees and label that with a digit 0-9. Then, place a colored dot corresponding to each digit on your circle. 3. Draw a line connecting each digit of Pi with the next. For example, I first drew a line from 3 to 1 that was the color of 3. Then, I drew a line from 1 to 4 that was the color of 1. Keep on going. (Things got a bit confusing. So, to help keep track of colors and digits, I kept crossing off already used digits off my Pi printout.) 4. Once you have a design that you like (I waited till I finally got a 0), erase all your pencil marks. There you have it. Two ways you can transform Pi's digits into lovely and colorful artwork. And it was as easy as Pi, right? Looking for more Pi Day Activities? Check out the links below for some great and easy ideas!

Are you looking for a fun pi day logic puzzle activity for your middle school or high school math classroom? Be sure to check out my blog for even more pi day games and pi day activities to make celebrating national pi day on March 14th 3.14 even more fun!
Pi Day is a day we all love as math teachers, right??? A chance to shine light on math in a fun way. So here are some fun ways you could celebrate Pi Day this year. 1. Do a Pi Day Breakout. Breakouts (like an escape room for the classroom) are lots of fun, and great to teach those "soft skills" we're always hearing about, like collaboration and perseverance. A quick Google search for Pi Day Breakout turned up lots of free resources. Here's a link to a digital Pi Day Breakout, but you can find more pretty easily! 2. Play Rolling for Pi. This quick game is a fun way to start things off for Pi Day, or something you could do if you just have a short time to celebrate. I give each student a six-sided number cube. Then I have everyone roll together, and you get to remain standing as long as you are rolling the digits of pi (in order!). So on the first roll, only those kids that rolled a 3 would remain in the game. Then they would roll again and try to get a 1, and so on. The kid that rolls the most digits of pi is the winner. This game works fine with 6-sided dice for the first several digits of pi (3.1415), and you could just declare anyone that got this far the winner. Variations of this game include using 10-sided dice or having students create a spinner to use. 3. Pi Day Puzzles. I have a fun (FREE!) Pi Day Sudoku puzzle in my Teachers Pay Teachers store that would be fun. There are two puzzles; one has Pi Day trivia, while the other other has students calculating problems with circumference and area of circles. 4. Pi Day chain contest. This is another great way to get kids working collaboratively. Divide your class up into groups of 3-5 students. Each group is supposed to make a paper chain with the digits of pi in the correct order. The group with the longest chain of accurate digits in the time given wins. 5. Pi Day Trivia. Take a quick break and play some trivia. My kids love to play trivia when we have a few extra minutes. A quick Google search can find lots of free trivia. 6. Pi Day STEM Challenge. I'm going to have kids create the smallest circular "landing pool" for a daredevil to dive into.....but it has to be big enough for the daredevil to hit the pool 10 times in a row! My "diving board" will be a ruler, and my "daredevil" will be a simple pencil eraser. You can see the set up below. After the kids create the pool, they have to find the surface area. Click here if you're interested in full supporting materials for this lesson! 7. Write a Pi Day story. Want to get your English teacher involved in Pi Day? Here's a fun one for them! There are two ways to do this. One way is to have kids write a "story"....the catch is that the word lengths in the story have to follow the digits of pi. So you start with a 3-letter word, then a 1-letter word, etc... Another variation, is to have the kids write a normal story, but they have to work in the digits of pi in order. This one gets fun because words like "to" count as a two, and "won" counts as one. 8. Make pie!!! The science teacher on my team gets involved in the day by having the kids make a cream pie as a lab, using Bunsen burners. We have parents donate ingredients, and have half the kids make chocolate cream pie and half make butterscotch cream pie. Then of course, at the end of the day, we eat! 9. Pi Day problem hunt. Give your students a printout with one page of pi digits printed out. Have them look for problems within the digits. The problems can be simple (1 + 4 = 5) or more complicated ones using order or operations. 10. Pi Day Hopping Races. If you are able to take kids outside or to the gym, this one might be fun. Have a race where students have to hop the digits of pi. 3 hops on one foot, 1 hop on the other foot, 4 hops on the other foot, etc.... 11. Pi Day Goose Chase. Ok, I have to admit that I haven't tried Goose Chase EDU yet. It's like a digital scavenger hunt. It looks super fun, though and I'm dying to try it some time. Here is one I created that would work for Pi Day. Click here to see the one I made. 12. Pi Day Scavenger Hunt. Speaking of scavenger hunts, a paper scavenger hunt is a more traditional option. Last year my class had a great time with this. I had pictures posted of all kind of circular objects with the radius or diameter labeled. Their scavenger hunt list included things like "something edible with an area of 15" or "something hot with a circumference of 20 in". The kids got a little creative with it, and it was fun!

Why celebrate Pi Day? Because it's fun, educational, and why should the big kids have all the fun?! In case it's been a while since you came across the word, Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, which means its decimal form never ends or becomes repetitive. March 14th is Pi Day because the date contains the first 3 digits of Pi: 3.14. Back in the day, Pi was just another math term to learn. Nowadays, classrooms all over the world celebrate Pi Day in many creative ways. Kids today have all the fun! Students in 4th Grade can begin to understand Pi! Here are just a few ideas to try: 1. Read Circumference and the Dragon of Pi Circumference and the Dragon of Pi is written by Cindy Neuschwander, and illustrated by Wayne Geehan. It is a good introduction and includes plenty of math terms. It may go over some heads a bit, but it's a fairy tale, and that is an overlooked genre. So give it a go. 2. Challenge students to memorize as many digits of Pi as they can. I once had a student who memorized over 30 digits! Make the competition sweet with a Tastykake pie for a prize! 3. Get out the calculators and rulers and find the circumference of some circles. Find some circular objects in the classroom, complete an example together, and let students try out the formula with a partner. Measure the diameter of a circle and multiply by (Pi) 3.14 to find the circumference. Make sure the kiddos know that the circumference is approximate when multiplying the diameter times 3.14! 4. Use this lesson to make Pi posters to take home. Pi Day Lesson 5. Finish up by making individual Pies! I grab those mini pie crusts and individual puddings on sale. Students spoon the pudding into the crusts with a plastic spoon and enjoy some mini pies on Pi Day! How will you celebrate Pi Day in your classroom? Are you a subscriber yet?
