Pi Makes School Fun

The sixth grade classes at Our Lady of the Lake School celebrated Pi day this year by working across the curriculum to get creative, apply and explore.  Working in cooperative groups, they measured the circumference and diameter of round objects to find Pi (3.14).  They used the first thousand numbers of Pi to create a stem and leaf plot.  They created as many words as they could that contained the letters "pi.”  (How many can you create? Test your wits against our students and see how you do!) Then they logged into their computers to create diamante poems about Pi. And, of course, they rounded off the day with a round treat!
