The media notes ‘Pi Day’ each year, but only mentions that it has something to do with circles, or that there may be a local pie(!)-eating contest.
Pi Day should be about Making Math Memorable with hands-on activities. Now you can prove Pi yourself in your own hands with your own Sneaky Pi Detector. Grab one free at: http://www.sneakymath.com – print it, cut it out, and wrap it around a cylindrical item to discover its diameter and circumference all via the magic of Pi.
See more free projects and how-to videos at SneakyMath.com and share the fun with your friends.
