Happy Pi Day! Yep, it's March 14th, or 3/14...get it? There's actually an official Pi Day Organization and they have lots of goodies about Pi and Pi Day Celebrations on their website. In celebration there are all sorts of teaching ideas for math. Math Goodies has a web quest for Pi Day. Scholastic has several activity ideas on their website. And Teach Pi has over 50 activities on its website. Of course, you could just celebrate by finding a good ol' slice of your favorite edible pie and use pi to calculate it's area as you enjoy it.
The Brainstorm Mission: To help readers find books they will love. To get books off the shelves and into reading hands. To make teachers and parents aware of resources. To give teachers an “excuse” to use books by helping them brainstorm ways books will augment current studies. (But teachers, please use activity tie-in ideas wisely, and don’t use every idea for each book; let’s avoid book death by overkill and keep the love for books alive!)
