• Pi Day Challenge:
The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706. The symbol was made popular by the mathematician Leonhard Euler. Since the exact value of pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle. We find the approximate value. Our grades 7&8 will be competing on March 7. Each class will have one winner and that person will receive 2 free Pizza Day lunches! That means for two Thursdays, you will receive one slice of pizza and a juice box for FREE! The person who memorizes the most places after the decimal will win 4 Pizza day lunches! Yum!
