Read More: March 14 is Pi Day - A Fun Idea for Family ActivitiesPi Day
Any good excuse for a fun family day or activity is worth some personal attention. A few years ago, my oldest son got wind of Pi Day. It is celebrated each March 14 (think 3.14) to recognize and teach about the mathematical term Pi. As you may remember, Pi is defined as the relationship between a circle’s diameter and its circumference. You can calculate the circumference of a circle by multiplying its diameter by Pi (which is approximately 3.1415926535. If you know the diameter of a circle, you can also calculate its area by squaring the radius of the circle and multiplying by Pi. One of the most fun things about Pi is that it has an infinite number of digits after the 3.14 and there is no real pattern.
