On March 14 (3/14), students at Goza Middle School participated in creative, hands-on, math-focused activities which demonstrate the constant relationship of a circle's circumference to its diameter, known as
pi. The first few decimal places of pi are all that's needed for most typical calculations (3.14), but since it is an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition. Pi has been calculated to over one-trillion digits beyond its decimal point.

Circumference / Diameter + A splash of color = Fun learning! |
