On Tuesday 14 March we celebrated Pi Day at MLMC, where we explored the mysterious number in a variety of interesting and creative ways. 14 March is recognised as Pi Day for a reason: 3.14 are Pi’s first three digits.

Students and teachers worked together on activities including solving Pi-themed picture riddles, making a paper chain with each coloured link representing a digit of Pi and, of course, attempting to recite as many digits of Pi as possible.

The day was a great opportunity to better our understanding of such a significant mathematical concept, through simple and engaging ways. Hopefully everyone found it worthwhile — perhaps even ins-pi-ring!
