Jul
Pi Approximation Day is a fun day celebrated on July 22nd each year. It's all about the special number Pi (written as ?), which is used in math to help us understand circles. While Pi is a long number with lots of digits after the decimal (3.14159...), on July 22nd, we use the fraction 22/7 to get a close answer to Pi. So, the day 22/7 (July 22) is perfect to celebrate this neat trick. People play games and do fun activities with circles to celebrate how math and Pi help us in everyday life!
How to celebrate Pi Approximation Day?
Start your day by baking a pie because pie sounds like "pi"! Decorate it with the pi symbol using berries or chocolate chips. Invite your friends over to enjoy the pie. Have fun reciting as many digits of pi as you can remember. You could also draw or paint pi symbols and hang them around your room. Create a "pi" bracelet using beads and make a game of calculating the area of circular objects, like plates or clock faces, using the pi formula you know. End the day by watching a cool math movie or reading a fun book about math!
