Homework – Due March 21st

Class Summary – Pi Day:

In class we “discovered” pi by measuring the circumference and diameter of various circles and seeing the relationship between them. We also illustrated that the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared.

Homework for this Week:

• Print the Accountability Sheet and return it to class next week. If you are unable to print it, write down the information on a piece of paper to turn in during class.

• Work on your curriculum goal.

• To follow up with our in class activity and discussion. Please watch these two videos:

• Play a game with a member of your family or a friend. Here are some options:
  • New games this week:
    • Race to Pi Game: This is a game I handed out in class. There are a few things that might make the game work a bit better.
      • You will probably need more cards. I recommend using a deck of Uno cards possibly with the wilds. Or you could use two decks of playing cards.
      • It works better with more people.
      • If you draw a card you can play, you may play it immediately after drawing.
      • Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
