It’s March 14th!! DO you KNOW what today is??? It’s National Pi Day. It’s a nod to the first three digits of the mathematical constant 3.14, which just also happens to be Albert Einstein’s Birthday!! Pi Day is celebrated by math fans all around the world – often with PIE to celebrate all things pi!
If asked.. how many digits could you state for pi? What I can honestly say is 3.14159 is as far as I can go.. In a study
- 74% of students said they are confident they know how to write the number for pi, but…
- 55.3% of students could identify only the first 5 digits of pi
- 34% of high school students who said they knew how to write pi, chose the wrong option
- 30.5% of students know that pi is defined as the radio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter
Pi is an irrational number, which means that it is a real number that cannot be expressed by a simple fraction. That’s because pi is what mathematicians call an “infinite decimal” — after the decimal point, the digits go on forever and ever. For me…. I like the PIE part of pi day… Did you know that out of 100 people
- 22.7% like Chocolate pie the most
- 22.1% liked Apple
- 15.9% picked Lemon meringue
- 12.3% chose Blueberry pie
- 8.4% prefer Cherry and there are 18.6% outta their mind people that don’t even like pie!
Whether you are into mathematics or Bakery goodness ENJOY PI DAY TODAY!!!!
