Pi Day HistoryPi Day celebrates the mathematical constant represented by the Greek letter π. In mathematics and physics, Pi, approximately 3.14, is a fundamental concept that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, consistent no matter the size of the circle. Pi Day not only pays tribute to this vital constant, but also serves as an opportunity to engage students and the general public in math-related activities like pie-eating on a day that loosely represents the constant. The concept of Pi Day was first proposed by physicist Larry Shaw in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium. In Canada, the mathematical day has been embraced enthusiastically by mathematicians, teachers, students, and anyone appreciating the interplay between mathematics and the world. Many Canadian educational institutions and organizations mark Pi Day, given the country's emphasis on scientific and mathematical education. It's seen as an exciting opportunity to spark interest in these crucial subjects among students and adults alike. In Canada, Pi Day is typically observed through educational events, discussions about the significance of Pi, and math-themed contests. It's become a tradition in some schools to serve pie on Pi Day, playing on the homophonic nature of the word "pi" and "pie". While circled learning sessions celebrate the day's circular theme, students often engage in activities geared towards calculating Pi. As per its mathematical origin, this day is observed every year on March 14, connecting to the approximation of pi, 3.14. Facts about Pi Day
