Pi Linky Party!!

Yes I know I am a little bit of a nerd when I say this but I heart Pi Day! I have memorized some of pi.. 3.141592.. that's all I got.  In university we used to have competitions to see who could memorize the most (yes I have a big L on my forehead right now, and I am fine with it).  So I have decided to participate in this linky party from A Middle School Survival Guide.  I just love this blog!  The objective of this linky is to come up with an activity for pi day.









 This is what I came up with...

Students can use paper plates to design and draw their own flavor of pie.  Then you can assign each student a number from pi and they will put this number on top of their pie drawing.


The students can then find their position in pi and line up and take a class picture, maybe sing a little song.. whatever you want.  I would also decorate my classroom with the plates in the order of pi.

It is simple, but SWEET and DELICIOUS.

I would also bring mini pies in for the class, but I also love making apple pie (I warned you that I was a nerd).

      I love baking, so I have to resist making pies all the time.
