Ultimate Pi Day is the name being given to 3/14/15 because at 9:26:53 the date and time will show the first 10 digits of pi. Unquowa students, wearing circles, polka dots or pi T-shirts, celebrated a few days before. At our weekly assembly, seventh graders Anne Marie, Dylan, Lucy and Jessica spoke about the mathematical properties of pi and its importance in the world around us. For the younger students, bubbles, pattern matching and compass designs provided the circles for the day. Fifth graders created pi code bracelets, while sixth graders competed to see who could memorize more digits of pi. By measuring the radius and circumference of a variety of circular objects, seventh graders endeavored to verify the relationship “circumference divided by diameter = pi.” Eighth graders scoured the internet to discover answers to pi trivia questions.
The activities for each grade were enthusiastically presented by Anne Marie, Dylan, Lucy, Jessica, Clara, Ben, Akash, Quinn, Walter and Siddharth. They did an outstanding job of presenting a fun-filled day.
