Come learn more about fractions, measuring, tangrams and more while enjoying some pie. This event is best suited for kids grades 2-5, but all ages are welcome to participate

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 around the world. Pi (Greek letter “p”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant - the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - which is approximately 3.14159.

Because its definition relates to the circle, p is found in many formulae in trigonometry and geometry, especially those concerning circles, ellipses, or spheres. It is also found in formulae from other branches of science, such as cosmology, number theory, statistics, and mechanics.
