At our February meeting, we talked about Pi Day - March 14th. It's a great day to play around with math and learn a little bit about Pi. Here are some of our favorite suggestions for what to do on Pi Day!
The Exploratorium's website has lots of great math and science suggestions, and Pi day is no exception! Here are a couple of easy activities and lots of great links:

However you decide to mark Pi Day, be sure to have some fun! Make a pie. It's a classic pun that your kids will definitely enjoy.
