Pi Day

Yes!  It's 3/14 - also known as Pi day!


Pi is one of those special numbers in math that shows up again and again when dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter - no matter how big or small a circle is.

Pi is also a fun number to explore - with its digits going on and on! This has been a number that has intrigued mathematicians for thousands of years.
