Weekly Maths Challenge - Pi Day themed!

Mrs J Cole, HOD Mathematics —

While the official Pi Day lands tomorrow, March 14th (3.14), the Mathematics department, along with our Ako prefects Ranya and Ciara, decided to celebrate with the school a day early! Lunchtime today saw a fantastic turnout as students flocked to join in the festivities.

The atmosphere was buzzing as participants tackled a series of Pi-themed trivia. Students who stepped up to the challenge earned themselves a well-deserved slice of "pi" (delicious cake) to celebrate the world’s most famous mathematical constant.

Test your knowledge on this week’s Pi-themed questions:

  1. When was Pi first calculated?

  2. Why is Pi day celebrated on March 14th?

  3. What is the world record for digits of Pi recited?

  4. A large pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. If the radius of the pizza is 15 cm, what is the area of just one slice?
