Happy Pi Day activity worksheets

In these activities, students learn how to gather and analyze the data of circular objects. Students will plot the data on a graph, then calculate the slope of the data points. What will they observe about the slope?

Choose from two quick-start activities, “Ready-Made Pi” or “Homemade Pi.” Ready-Made Pi is great if class/prep time is short. If you have time for Homemade Pi, then let students experiment with objects (or treats!) brought from home.

Either way, the included calculator keypress quick tips sheet will keep students moving forward!
