GSFS Celebrates Pi Day
Happy 3.14! Since Pi Day falls on Saturday, the GSFS community celebrated with a morning of math-themed activities with their partners on Friday.
To begin the morning, Nita's 2nd grade class sang a song about pi during the Lower School assembly, reciting 26 digits of pi!
Partner classes gathered together in the morning for special activities, including:
- Pre-Kindergarten and 6th grade searched for as many circles as they could find around campus;
- Kindergarten and 8th grade colored circle mandalas, played the monster number squeeze game, and pinned the radius on the circle;
- 1st and 4th grades made circle art together;
- 2nd grade watched videos about pi and measured the circumference and radius of cookies with yarn; and
- 3rd and 5th grades completed a pi-themed worksheet in which they had to measure the circumference and radius of circles.
After completing the activities, students enjoyed a round treat: cookies!
Additionally, Science teacher Josh challenged his students: if they, working in groups of 5, could remember more digits of pi than he can, their prize would be to throw a pie in his face. He knows over 190 digits...but a group of 6th grade students beat him by reaching 200 digits!
