Math nerds of the world, today is OUR holiday! Go out, celebrate, and have a slice of pie (don't forget to calculate the circumference of the whole pie based on the arc length of your slice!). Have contests to see who knows the most digits. Read Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi by Cindy Neuschwander. Sing your favorite pi carols or pi rap. Live it up!

For my fellow teachers, this is a great site chocked full of ideas for teaching pi. If you don't have anything neat planned this year, start work to have a school wide celebration for next year.

Thank you for the teachers who already bask in the wonder of pi and make it fun for their students (especially those in Minnesota!).

Happy Pi Day, one and all!
