This week contains, math students and teachers alike, favorite day of the year! A day full of pie and Pi. These activities will be aimed more towards 5th-8th grade students, but feel free to incorporate into your K-5 or 9-12 classrooms! Also, most of these activities will be fun and math orientated, and more arts enhanced (arts as a facilitator to learning, not necessarily learning about the art form). I will include arts integrated activities too! Enjoy!
Website FULL of Pi Day activities!!!
This blog has a TON of really fun activities to bring into your classroom on Pi day this year! She includes printables, pi jokes (which I find too funny), a pi day cootie catcher, and even a PI-naminte song! I really love how she brings a variety of different activities to her pi day. The students are moving from one activity to another. She also brings in many different learning styles and helps each student engage with the activities.
Here is the fun song for your students to sing!!
