Shulamith’s tasty Pi day

Pi day — March 14 (or 3.14) — was celebrated by the middle division of Shulamith.

Five picture puzzles with pi puns were posted as a competition for students to solve. Tzvi Goldstein of Brooklyn’s Strauss bakery, father of Meira in grade 6, provided mini chocolate cream pies for each student and teacher.

In each math class, students strung different colored beads on lanyards to demonstrate that pi is an irrational number whose decimals neither terminate nor repeat. Students also charted the frequency of the appearance of the 10 digits in the first 100 decimal places of pi.
