Pi, or the Greek letter \u201c\u03c0\u201d, refers to a <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.gooroo.com\/courses\/irrational-numbers-what-is-the-number-pi\/729\">mathematical constant<\/a> often used in geometry. It is approximately 3.141592, with digits continuing infinitely and without pattern. No matter how you slice, you don\u2019t want to miss out on these fun Pi Day activities!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-memorizing-pi-digits-competition\">Memorizing Pi Digits Competition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pi is a never ending string of numbers calculated through trillions of digits. So, see how many digits of Pi you can memorize, and hold a competition with your friends and family! Furthermore, whoever accurately recites the most numbers gets a prize, or maybe the largest slice of pie at dessert. Look up the digits and start memorizing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-bake-a-pie-to-celebrate-pi-day\">Bake a Pie to Celebrate Pi Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Autumnal Pie\" class=\"wp-image-1628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171618\/priscilla-du-preez-2RXt6CQY_0c-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s not a more delicious way to celebrate Pi Day than by baking a pie. Choose your favorite seasonal fruit, some flour and sugar, and get baking. Try creating a pie crust from scratch, or get creative with the shape of your crust! Remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.gooroo.com\/courses\/chemistry-kitchen-lesson-1-the-secret-science-of-dessert\/30\">baking inherently involves math and science<\/a>, so you can review fractions and conversions while you measure out the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-celebrate-einstein-s-birthday\">Celebrate Einstein\u2019s Birthday<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>March 14 is not only Pi Day, but also the birthday of one of the most famous mathematicians and theoretical physicists, Albert Einstein! Celebrate the Nobel Laureate\u2019s birthday by sharing your favorite Einstein quote or hold an Einstein look-alike contest. In addition, learn about his most famous findings in mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-take-a-3-14-mile-walk\">Take a 3.14 Mile Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We know the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gooroo.com\/blog\/workout-anytime-with-these-fitness-exercises\/\">physical activity<\/a> are incredibly important, so lace up your sneakers and take a leisurely walk, jog, or run for 3.14 miles. Enjoy the fresh air and challenge your body to go a little bit further than your average walk. Furthermore, you can&nbsp; make it a game and see who can run the full 3.14 miles fastest, or set up a 3.14 mile obstacle course through your neighborhood!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-tell-some-math-jokes\">Tell Some Math Jokes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrate Pi Day by sharing your favorite math pun, or try and come up with one on your own! For inspiration, here are a few of our favorites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Why wasn\u2019t the geometry teacher at school? Because she sprained her angle!&nbsp;<\/li><li>What did the triangle say to the circle? \u201cYou\u2019re pointless.\u201d<\/li><li>Why was math class so long? The teacher kept going off on a tangent.<\/li><li>Why did Pi get its driver\u2019s license revoked? Because it didn\u2019t know when to stop.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-hold-a-pie-eating-contest\">Hold a Pie Eating Contest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Pie eating contest\" class=\"wp-image-1629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/03\/09171802\/abigail-miller-r4sxIf0gTfs-unsplash-2048x1369.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.gooroo.com\/courses\/bake-it-up-how-to-make-an-apple-pie\/157\">baking your delicious pie<\/a>, turn up the heat by organizing a pie eating contest. Give everyone a generous slice (or their own whole pie!), tie their hands behind their back, set the timer for 3 minutes and 14 seconds, and see who can eat the most. Then, whoever wins the competition doesn\u2019t have to clean up the inevitable mess you\u2019ve made!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-watch-a-movie-celebrating-math\">Watch a Movie Celebrating Math<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wind down from an exciting day of activities and pieces of pie with a movie inspired by the wonders of mathematics. Turn on the 2014 film \u201cTheory of Everything,\u201d a movie that follows theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking\u2019s life starting at University of Cambridge. You can watch the 1997 classic \u201cGood Will Hunting\u201d following a 20-year-old math genius in South Boston. Or check out the 2001 drama \u201cA Beautiful Mind\u201d which recounts the life of Nobel Laureate John Nash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi Day on March 14th is celebrated around the world as a day of math, learning, and of course, delicious pie!
