Math Location: Retired FCPS, Current UK and Transy	In the past, I have: 1. Read 'Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi' or 'Sir Cumference and the first round table' 2. Served Moon pies and calculated circumference and diameter and used to find pi. 3. Taught the pi song or played Bob Garvey's pi song. 4. Made a pi chain and hung up through the entire school 5. Made a pi quilt 6. Made a pi mobile 7. Class frequency table for digits of pi 8. Adv classes: find 1-1/3, 1-1/3+1/5, 1-1/3+1/5-1/7, ... (eventually gets closer to pi) 9. Read pi facts/pi jokes 10. Assigned a pi wordsearch 11. do a pi puzzle for whatever i am covering. Take a big pi symbol and divide it up into sections; put problems and answers on the edges so that when you work the problem you can find the answer, match them up. when you are finished the pieces form a big pi symbol. The one i have seen is for algebra ii or above and reviews operations with functions but you can do other types of problems. See something you are interested in? Let me know and I can email you specifics!

Math Posts: 104 Location: Henry Clay	Does anyone else feel like I do that it is high time that we gave at least equal credit to the Golden Number PHI? Seems to me that January 6 should be just as special as March 14. Perhaps we could make cakes in the shape of the Golden Rectangle and serve them at a party. Other suggestions?
