Today is 3/14/2011, which is not only the first day of Spring Break for my students and fellow teachers but Pi Day for math enthusiasts. Of course, this is because the rounded value of Pi is 3.14. So go get that string and make a circle out if it. Then find the diameter of that circle and have your own Pi! (Please don't eat it!)
By the way, do you know why this date will be special in four years? I'll let you ponder that throughout the day.
Can students still bring teachers an apple?
