Tuesday of this week was ‘pi day’ named because the date (the American way at least!) was 3.14 (March 14).
8-2Ma and 8-3Ma were given the task of not only thinking about the number that is pi, and relating it to circles – which they have been doing during their current unit - but also practicing their English, by writing a poem/song/story where each of the words had to have the correct number of letters as seen in pi.
Something like ‘How I wish I could calculate pi …..’ (3.14592 ….).
Some examples can be seen here.
