Calling all math lovers – Pi Day is here! For those of you snowed in like me, here’s your chance to check out some Pi-themed activities that you can try in your class tomorrow.

PiDay.org  – Learning Resources 

PiDay.org features videos of creative, funny, and impressive Pi content including a Pi-Day countdown, Pi sightings from around the world, news and events, and learning activities for students.

Ever wonder why Pi Matters? Check out the article from The New Yorker here at PiDay.org. Interested in learning which local bakeries, grocery stores, or restaurants are planning to celebrate the day? Find out here at PiDay.org’s Local Sightings page.

My personal favorite thing on the site is a parody of the “What does the Fox say?” music video where they instead sing “What is the value of Pi?” This can be found in the video archive section.
