Pi day

Pi day was on March 14th 2015. It only occurs every 100 years, because on Pi day, the date matches the first 6 digits of Pi. It was very cool knowing that I would participate in celebrating that date. At exactly 9:26 I took a picture of me pointing at a calendar at Pi day.



      How can we calculate Pi? We do the circumference divided by the diameter in any circle or round shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsi-giT1Gpc. We can get a more accurate number for Pi by doing what I did in my geogebra which was divided many different shapes to eventually get a more accurate number of Pi. 

    Irrational fractions and decimals are numbers that never repeat or end. The difference now is that rational numbers always have an end and they always have to finish. Meanwhile irrational numbers like Pi or the square root of 2 never reaper or end. We should know about Pi because it is important to know, discover, and learn about irrational numbers. To this day mathematicians and scientist still have not discovered an end or a sign of Pi repeating itself.  In class we watched a video about Pi that Mrs. Murray made, while she was waiting at the airport. It was very interesting and I liked it because we got to know all about Pi.
