On 14 March, the Mathematics team celebrated international Pi day. Pi is an irrational number that is pivotal in Mathematics as it is used when dealing with all things circular. How many digits can you recite?

π = 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944 …

This year the Mathematics team celebrated the day with a range of activities in the classroom and our new shirts prompted much discussion around the school. It was nice to be able to celebrate this special day in a small way and we hope that students were “inspired” whilst investigating π. I have attached some photographs showing highlights of the activities. 

By now, all students will have completed at least one assessment. Please check Connect to see how your child is progressing. Don’t forget that students have access to Mathspace, where they can work on any content that has been covered in class.
