Peer reviewedVan Brummelen, Glen – Mathematics in School, 1998
Provides information about mathematician Jamshid al-Kashi and his work on calculating mathematical values such Pi or Sin(1). (ASK)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Mathematicians, Mathematics Activities
Peer reviewedLeddy, T.; Mott C. F. – Mathematics in School, 1976
A sequence of activities leading to the concept of Pi is suggested. (DT)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedSimpson, E. J. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Several problems involving "pi" and "e" can be approached by diagramming, flow charting, and computer programing. (SD)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Flow Charts, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedCorris, G. – Mathematics in School, 1990
Discusses the calculation of pi by means of experimental methods. Polygon circle ratios, Archimedes' method, Buffon's needles, a Monte Carlo method, and prime number approaches are used. Presents three BASIC programs for the calculations. (YP)
Descriptors: Computation, Geometric Concepts, Geometric Constructions, Geometry
Peer reviewedBeattie, Ian D. – Mathematics in School, 1985
Presents a sequence of activities which serve to unravel the mystery of pi. In addition, the activities give meaning to circle relationships that formerly have been, at best, rotely learned. (JN)
