Try our new educational games for middle school, including this special Pi Day Puzzler! We have lots more, too!
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!

Let me count the ways ... 1. I love Pi Day because students love it. 2. I love Pi Day because it is a math/science inspired holiday. 3. I love Pi Day because I can celebrate and educate at the same time. 4. I love Pi Day because it is an opportunity to mix things up by doing something a bit different ... and outside the box. 5. I love Pi Day because it's fun! Here's what I always do on Pi Day: 1. Have a pi memorization contest. I challenge students to memorize as many digits of pi as possible. If they can make it onto my Top Ten list I buy them their favorite pie! This is my list with names removed. It always amazes me! They are all 7th and 8th grade students. 2. Make pi bracelets. These are a HUGE hit! I often think the boys enjoy this even more than the girls. Believe it or not, I've had students and parents show me the bracelets years later! They are just glass beads strung on elastic. Each digit is a different colored bead and they are strung according to the order of the digits in pi. I started out with PTO money to buy supplies. 💰 Now I stock up when I find a bargain. If I'm lucky, I might have a bit of funding to help out. 3. Provide circular treats. Pie, cookies, cake, candy, cupcakes ... anything circular works! Here are some other things to do on Pi Day: 1. Lessons related to circles (circumference, area, surface area, volume). These activities can take the form of color by number worksheets, task cards, and more. 2. Make Pi Day related decorations. 3. Play a pi related game such as MATHO. 4. Do a webquest to learn about pi, Albert Einstein, and/or autism. 5. Sing Pi Day songs. (Just Google to find these...) 6. Measure circular items to discover the value of pi. 7. Make pi bookmarks. These are available in my TPT store from March 11-17 as a FLASH FREEBIE! There are many resources available. You can find free options online, purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers, or use materials you already have available. Whatever you decide to do ... enjoy the celebration!

I am still finishing up my homework... one linky party today and then a thank you and three linky parties tomorrow and then I will be caught up (at least for a day!) We have celebrated Pi Day in sixth grade for several years now, and each year, we add a little something more. I didn't say anything to the students when the day started. Even though I was wearing this shirt, only one student asked ("Does that have something to do with St. Patrick's Day?"). I can conclude two things: They don't know much about Greek symbols and they don't care what we wear (Thereby proving that Farley should be able to wear jeans and flip flops every day!) I got my shirt at Cafe Press. Click the picture to link to the site. When it was time for math, I put a box of materials at each table. Inside each box was an assortment of cans (coded for a part of the activity), a ruler for each partnership, and several pieces of (really cool) fluorescent string. They worked in partners and shared the materials among the six people seated at the table. Before we began the project, I gave them a quick review lesson on centimeters and showed them how it was easy to measure the parts of a whole using this system... and that they would indicate tenths with decimals. They had a worksheet that invited them to do the following: Measure the distance around each can (in centimeters) Measure the distance across the can (in centimeters) Divide "around" by "across" and write the answer (in centimeters) Even though they had to work cooperatively, there was very little grumbling (apparently my St. Patrick's Day shirt had put them in a good mood). They measured and laughed and measured again. As I took pictures, I was surprised to discover who wore nail polish and who didn't and who was currently wearing a temporary (?) tattoo! (I decided it was best not to post the incriminating evidence.) The things you learn when you have a camera! Most students had time to measure at least four of the six cans. At this point, I asked them to tell me the measure of the "around" divided by "across" for two of the cans (both of which were included in all of the boxes and identified as those needed to be measured--with the remaining cans completed in the remaining time). Their answers were interesting: 2.9, 3.18. 3.25, 2.77, 3.08, 3.35, 3.09. 3.45, 3.28, 27, 2.89, 3,21, 3.22, 3.16 and 3.45. We talked about the measure of 27 being an "outlier" (also part of the math unit) until one member of the partnership shouted,"Oh, you want the amount after we DIVIDE? Oh! 3.1" After a discussion of variables in experiments, we also decided that the measurement was hampered by stretching the string and how "it's really hard to divide..." Then I asked "Why did you get answers that were so similar?" This sparked a lively discussion and a variety of interesting responses! I gave them a chance to see if this was coincidental or was there something behind the similar measurements. Finally, they completed the last part of the experiment: This required them to measure the distance around the can and CUT the string. Then, they measured the distance across and cut that amount repeatedly until they couldn't cut any more and taped the cut pieces and the remainder onto a piece of paper. The goal was to count how many whole measures and then to estimate how much of a whole piece (across) the little remainder piece was. Here I had some pretty accurate insight into what my students do NOT know... "It's about 23 tenths" and "It's a little more than half" were sadly amusing. Most students felt that "less than one fourth" was accurate and one brave soul ventured "One or two tenths..." Note to self: Have plenty of tape on hand! Some students used more tape than string to display their results... I told them we had a quick math quiz to check their division skills. I gave them 30 seconds to divide 22 by 7 as far as they could (As this is not an exact expression of pi, you will get a repeating decimal if you give them too long to work, so a limited amount of time is important.) I had prepared a flip chart about measuring circles. We reviewed the correct vocabulary--and I had been pleased to hear some students saying "circumference" and "diameter" while they were measuring the cans. Once we got to the page where the distance around the our classroom trash can be divided by the distance across the can to produce a measurement of 3.14832 cm, someone said, "Hey! That's close to what I got when I measured one of the cans!" And so it went. The next few flip chart pages explained a bit about pi and I told them we could simplify the whole process and help Velcro it into our memories by singing a little song. I explained that pi can't be resolved as a quantity and it can never be written down as an exact or complete number. Pi is non-terminating and non-repeating! (Oooo. Some of them LOVED those words!) I've attached our song... Click on the song to get a better copy at google.docs. Of course, you can't celebrate Pi day without PIE, so we completed our lesson with a not-quite-nutritious treat (although it does say REAL fruit filling!). Student got to choose between apple and cherry--just a half--and they were quite content. Apple was the preferred choice (3 to 1)...Oh! Hey! I sense a lesson on ratio and proportions in our future! It was a fun day! I think they students learned a lot. And I learned a lot that will help guide my teaching over the next few weeks. However, I still seem to find myself thinking about cherry pie... Update! OMGolly! Hurry! Go to The Classy Teacher's blog! She found Pi Day earrings! Soooo cute! Want to see how other teachers celebrated Pi Day? Come over to the Pi Day Linky at A Middle School Survival Guide.You don't even have to bring any pie!

I've rounded up some activities that you can use in your classroom for Pi Day. I've also included a free activity for download.
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?

Pi Day Pop Art Pi Day is 3.14! How will you celebrate this year? I love the simplicity of these coloring pages I created, and you can download one of them for free (the top left design in the image above) by going here: Have you jumped on the bandwagon of adult coloring? These are fun for grown-ups, too. I have started coloring again and even purchased myself some really nice markers and colored pencils. It's amazing how much work it is to color and/or write when you are not used to it, and definitely gives me an appreciation of why my own kids are often resistant to writing. Long gone are the days of calloused fingers from all the writing I had to do in school. Now I just have to worry about carpal tunnel from too much typing - I'm sure you have the same issue! In addition to the coloring page in the freebie, there is a math activity (graphing the first 100 digits of pi) and a game. For more coloring pages, head here: Hands on Pi Day Fun Looking for more ways to celebrate Pi Day? You don't want to miss this post - it's one of my favorites and is full of ideas to celebrate Pi Day with your students and kids! From the top left: Pi Day circle stamping art, Pi Day punched circle art, Pi Day bracelet, skyline, and a circumference experiment that will really help reinforce the idea of Pi with your youngest mathematicians!

Pi Day is such a fun holiday to celebrate with kids! Here are some of my favorite low prep Pi Day activities. How will you be celebrating? Low Prep Pi Day Activities Pi Day circle art! This was a HUGE hit with my kids! Gather some lids, cups, circular containers and paint. Dip the circular objects in the paint and "stamp" on paper. This can double as a science lab about colors - try using red, yellow, and blue paint. Experiment with twisting the circles as you stamp or smearing them. If you have circular hole punches, you can try this low mess activity if that is more your style: Pi Day bracelet! You can do this two ways, either as shown below (number of beads equals digit value) or assign a different digit to each bead color you have. For example, you could assign 0 to the white beads, 1 to the red beads, etc. If you have more time on your hands, you can dye pasta and make a colorful Pi Day pasta necklace as shown in this other post. Pi Day Skyline! This was such a fun project and an idea I found on Pinterest in a few locations, including this post at What Do We Do All Day. which has a lot of great pictures and ideas! If you have young children this is a great way to introduce the idea of circumference, but it also works well for older children and is a lot of fun! Details can be found in a previous post I wrote. Pi Day Printables and Activities! These can be found for purchase at my TpT shop (there is also a free download available!). There are activities for lower elementary all the way up through high school.
