Fairview School Celebrates "PI" Day in a Big Way

Pi Day was recently at Fairview School as part of the math curriculum. Pi Day falls on March 14, or 3/14, corresponding to the numerical digits in Pi: 3.14.

“Pi Day is a national holiday that celebrates the mathematical Greek symbol Pi,” said Fairview sixth grade teacher, Lisa Maron.  “This symbol is something that my students learn about when studying geometry. Today, my sixth graders prepared lessons about math for the entire school, from grades PreK-5.”

Pi Day was celebrated in a big way at Fairview, with students engaging in a day’s worth of fun and educational math exercises.  Bloomfield School Superintendent Jason Bing even came to Fairview to observe the Pi -inspired lessons. 

“Students read pictures books about math, did lessons on circumference and area, colored in giant pi symbols, and even played math bingo,” said Maron.  “We had a huge event in the gym and I even served all the sixth grade students pizza and fruit pies at lunch.”

The mathematical constant " Pi " was also celebrated at other schools within the district, noted Maron.
