Thing 9

I was at an information literacy workshop on Friday March 14. I missed PI Day with my students and decided to find out what NPR had to offer. At that npr website I found and used a YouTube video of a reporter going to Times Square in New York and asking people what the symbol Pi meant. It was a quick and easy video to include in my class. The reporter was not very impressed with the Times Square group and head to the Mathematics Department of NYU. One gal recites 52 digits of Pi. Students were impressed. I was also able to get a high school rapper doing Pi and some interesting limericks and songs and trivia. Did you know that March 14th is Einstein's Birthday? I didn't know that either.
