Pi Day!

Lower Elementary students celebrated Pi Day (3/14/15) a day early by completing several math stations. Students had a great time and we ended our day with some delicious cherry pie!

After using string to measure the circumference of these cylinders, students then stretched that string across the top for the diameter. After cutting the string, students found they had three equal pieces and a little piece left over! 





Happy Pi Day!!!
