You can have your “PI” and eat it too! Thank you Mrs. Jahanafard and Mrs. Newman for getting everyone so excited about PI day - and trying to memorize the never-ending irrational number of PI. Congratulations to the winners Yonah Greenspan - 187 digits and Chaya Weinbaum - 100 digits.
Most students used chunking to help remember the numbers, Chaya made a story incorporating the numbers that helped her get all the way to 100 - it must’ve been some story!
Of course, no lesson is ever complete without a hand’s-on learning experience of how the number for PI was created. Measuring tapes, circular items, and excel data charts showed us how the calculations of PI came to be.
