“PI Day”

My son, Daniel, was born on PI day, March 14. I’ll be on the road that day, so I decided to post this early…

My favorite PI story is from when my son was learning PI for the first time in school in the 1st grade. To help him, I gave him a string, and asked him to use the string to explore all the round things in the house he could find.

After a few minutes he came bounding down the stairs…

“Dad! All round things are the same! It takes three times longer to go around them than across them! And just a little more.”
