Happy (Pie-e) Day When I came to school on Saturday, all I knew about Pi Day was the shape of the pi number and the integer value of pi. When I went to the conference room and watched the slide prepared for the day of pi, I actually realized that I didn't know much about pi. When we returned to the classes and started solving the puzzle about pi day, we had a hard time. A few students from the eleventh grade also came to help us with our work on pi. When we creatd groups and staed research for our poster, I have to say that we come across very surprising and entertaining information. Did you know that 14 March's Pi Day celebration is related to the number pi of 3.14? Or did you know that Einstein was born on Pi Day? After making these informative researches, we started to make our poster with our group of five people. Mr. Torres also examined our posters in the meantime. We started to write some interesting information about pi. After we finished, we gathered around. Presenting posters in front of the jury members of the eleventh grade was both exciting and fun. We had fun watching the presentation of the groups before us but we were MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT TEACHERS 40 THE CLAPPER 2018 - 2019 very excited when it came to us. But this was a nice experience for us. There would also be slides in front of the school and this presentation was a preparation for this. We got the second after the judges' scoring, but since I had such a beautiful day, I and my other friends in the group were the first for me. On that day, I would like to thank the mathematics teachers, the jury members of the eleventh year, and all my friends in the group or not. Happy Pi Day!
