Holiday STEM Challenge- Pi Day

By December 11th, 2023No Comments
Celebrating Pi Day is a great way to sing the praises of STEM.  Along with helping students have a better appreciation of math and , it makes math fun!
Holiday STEM Challenges provide a break from students’ daily work that still targets standards and helps students sharpen their STEM skills.  Each Holiday STEM challenge comes complete with science notebook pages (half-page) so that students are still engaged in their learning, just with a holiday flair!

Here are some fun activities you can do with your students to help celebrate the mathiest day of the year:

Mathematical Pi– The chorus for this crafty little song will stick in your head all day and will teach your students Pi out to five digits.  Watch the video and you’ll see what I mean… (Note: Listen to this yourself first as there’s a questionable word choice around 1:40)

Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi- A personal favorite that I used to read to my students.  Read it to your students yourself or let your students watch a reader’s theater version. This book tells an entertaining story about how Pi was possibly discovered.  (FYI, this is not an affiliate link)

Pi Day Bracelets– Have a little fun with Pi, some pony beads and some yarn to make Pi Day bracelets!
