March 14 is special because it is Pi Day. Mathematics is celebrated on that day because the date, 3-14, replicates the first three digits of pi. Pi-related songs, websites, trivia facts, and more are at the fingertips of interested teachers and students. Less celebrated, but still fairly well known, is National Metric Day, which falls on October…

Peer reviewedTrotter, Terrel, Jr. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2002
Argues that by celebrating the number pi with special mathematical activities we may be teaching the fundamental concept of the place-value structure of our decimal place system. Includes several examples to illustrate the argument. (MM)

Peer reviewedFlores, Alfinio; Regis, Troy P. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2003
Illustrates a way in which students can estimate the ratio of an area of a circle using the radius square. Discusses why the same value of pi appears in both the formulas for the circumference and the area of the circle. (YDS)
