Princeton GATE students celebrate Pi Day by learning to identify Pi- an enigmatic and valuable number. We explore occupations which use Pi, including navigation, signal processing and global positioning. Next, we have some fun with its infinity. The photos show 3rd and 4th graders reciting Pi to the greatest number possible in a light-hearted competition. The children appear to be having fun with Pi, and they aren't even calculating circumferences yet! Read what Morgan, a 4th grade GATE student and winner of our Pi Day Competition (reciting 22 digits) has to say about Pi Day:
"I like Pi tremendously because it is a concept that is very easy to master if you take time. I learned that if you take your time to study Pi you can easily master it. I like GATE because it makes middle and high school concepts seem easy and prepares us for middle school, high school and college." Thank you so much to GATE teacher, Timothy Hogan, for teaching our elementary students all about Pi in honor of Pi Day and for sharing stories from the classroom!
