All students in SBEC’s math department celebrated Pi Day on March 9 along with thousands of other schools across the United States (Since SBEC was dismissed for Spring Break on the actual Pi Day, March 14, we celebrated it a little early.).Students learned the significance of pi in Mrs. Smith’s class as they wrote the value of pi to 8000 decimal places. Mrs. Smith also invited her students to find their birthday within the digits of pi.
In Mrs. Cloud’s Algebra 1 class the students talked quite a bit about Albert Einstein whose birthday is on March 14. Students also enjoyed eating a variety of pies. Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Fox’s students also joined in the fun of having lots of sweet round treats. Mrs. Clayton challenged her students to learn as many digits of pi as possible. Josh Kimberlin and Megan Filka learned the first 100 decimal places of pi! The AP Calculus students also enjoyed pi day by eating pizza pies that were homemade by Mr. Wrigley.
