What is PI? Pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. While the idea of pi has been known for nearly 4000 years, accurately calculating it has been something of slightly more recent mathematical development. By 2000 BC, the Egyptians and Babylonians accurately used the constant to build. Mathematicians such as Archimedes, Fibonacci, François Viète, Adriaan van Roomen, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz all calculated pi by various methods. However, in 1706, Welsh mathematician William Jones introduced the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle’s circumference; pi. Let's face it- unless you are a diehard mathematician, you probably use PI Day as an opportunity to enjoy PIE. Whether it's your favorite pizza pie, fruit pie, another type of dessert pie, or even shephard's pie. So, whether you celebrate PI or pie, here are some fun ideas! Ready to take this adventure to the next level? Organize a neighborhood PI Day celebration. Be sure to:

TIPS/REWARD Suggestions:
The natural reward will come as you eat pie! Be sure to make this a FUN, even silly experience for kids. Let your child help plan the celebration, pick out the pies and flavors, and be a part of choosing whatever it is you plan to do. Depending on what it is that you choose to do, be sure to compliment the kids for their role and validate whatever it is they do. Whether it's telling them how yummy the pie they made is, or just telling them you love the pie they picked out, they'll love hearing those positive affirmations from you.
