Happy PI Day!
Today at PS 20 we celebrate Pi Day. It is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and to eat pie.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.
Below you have a choice to complete one of the two activities. It needs to be submitted by noon today and will count as a project grade. Have fun!
1)Complete the 3-5 Pixel Copy activity OR
2)Complete the Skyline Activity using the virtual online graph paper and PI Day.docx -
Each building in the Pi cityscape represents a number in pi. Color in the number of squares on the virtual graph paper that correspond to each digit of pi. You can also use a black dot to represent the decimal point. Students need to fill in columns of squares for as many digits as they wish. Use the attached PI Day.docx as a guide and example.
Note that these activities are to be completed using Kami. I have posted here on the stream however it will also appear under Math assignments.
