Pi day!
Filed under: Activities: Babies
Math geeks worldwide already know that today is Pi Day.
The exact moment of pi nirvana is reached at exactly 1:59:26, but you can celebrate one of the most important mathematical constants at any time today!
Here are a few ideas:
- Make pancakes shaped like the pi symbol
- Make (or buy) a pie! (You could even cut a pi shape out of the top crust and garnish each slice with a whipped cream version of the symbol)
- See who in your house can recite the most numbers of pi. Here are the first fifty digits to get you started: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751 (Guinness Book Lu record holder Lu Chao did 67,890 digits. Clear your calendar though- it took him 24 hours and 4 minutes to recite them! )
- Go the punny route and eat pizza, pineapple, pine nuts, and pina coladas for the adults.
- Make and fill a pi shaped pinata
- Take a pi-mile run
- Make pi t-shirts (or order some for next year!)
- Watch American Pie after the kids are in bed while eating the last of the pie and pencil in "Chocolate Chip Cookie Day" on your calendar for next week.
Happy Pi day, everyone!

RobMonroe said...My wife, a chemistry teacher, celebrates the day. The school even moved a scheduled assembly off of today in Pi's honor!
They also celebrated Mole day. I think she plays with too many chemicals!

K. said...At first I felt a bit snubbed that you silly Americans with your silly way of writing dates got to decide when Pi-day was - and then I realised that as there are in fact only 12 months, there really is no alternative ;)
