Do You Love Pi?

Have you ever considered where we would be without circles, spheres cylinders, cones, and even conic sections… all based on Pi?

Come explore and celebrate the impact of this amazing, yet irrational number at the first annual Amherst PTA Family Math and Science Night. The festivities will be held in honor of International Pi Day on Monday, March. 12 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Amherst Middle School gym.

Students in grades K through 6, along with their families, are invited to play games based on circles and spheres, draw beautiful hypotochroid artwork, design colorful jewelry using Pi, and learn more about the ubiquitous influence of Pi through other fascinating Math and Science activities.

Do you know how much you weigh on the Sun? How old you are on Jupiter? You can find out at this fun family event for math/science loves.

Pi represents the relationship between a circle’s diameter and its circumference. It has been calculated to over 1 trillion digits past the decimal, and will continue infinitely because it is an irrational and transcendental number.
