from Happy ! 🥧 "For math lovers, it's a chance to celebrate Pi, one of the most important numbers ever, representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Although Pi is typically rounded up to 3.14, it can go on forever. According to Guinness World Records, the most accurate value for Pi is more than 62 trillion digits (62,831,853,071,796 to be precise). It was calculated last August by the University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.
Whether you calculate it or eat it, Pi (and pie) bring joy to many. Here's how it all started.
Pi has been around for 4,000 years, used by ancient Babylonians to calculate the area of a circle by taking three times the square of its radius, according to the Exploratorium, a San Francisco-based museum.
Early calculations of Pi were based on measurement until the Greek mathematician Archimedes became the first to use an algorithmic approach, according to PiDay. org, a website created to encourage learning in STEM subjects.
The Pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by mathematician William Jones, but it wasn't made popular until Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler used it in 1737.
The Pi symbol is the first letter of the Greek word, perimetros, which loosely translates to 'circumference,' says PiDay. org.
How did Pi Day start?
Former physicist Larry Shaw, who connected March 14 with 3.14, celebrated the first Pi Day at the Exploratorium with fruit pies and tea in 1988. The museum said Shaw led Pi Day parades there every year until his passing in 2017.
In 2009, the House of Representatives passed a resolution marking March 14 as National Pi Day."

we are a firm believer that you can teach or reinforce STEM concepts with your kids in things you do on a regular basis. Here is a great tip for engaging in physical activity while doing math from for Parents 🌳 Explore the great outdoors while learning math! Go for a walk and count the types of trees you see, then work out the percentages of each type of tree.

on Monday, February 21st from 6:30-8:30 pm EST Tokiwa T. Smith Consulting is partnering with
to host a virtual screening and discussion of the documentary, Clothed Minds., co-sponsored by Royal Neighbors of America. The documentary focuses on the effects that school dress code policies have on Black girls in DC. Although the documentary shares the stories of Black girls in DC, all over the country Black girls are receiving harsher punishments for dress code “violations”, which have detrimental impacts on their academic performance and self-esteem. After the screening of the documentary, Carletta as well as one of the students featured in the documentary will join me in a discussion on this topic.
This event is for anyone that wants to learn more about this topic as well as be a part of this important discussion. A portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to a DMV nonprofit organization that serves Black girls in DC. You can get your tickets for the event below
