Unravel the mystery behind the infamous number pi. Scholars complete a series of activities that explores where pi comes from, its digits and estimation strategies. Pupils should be ready to measure, calculate, and look for patterns to...

In this pi worksheet, students evaluate the curve of a quarter of a circle. They analyze the length of the curve, and explain that if the area under the curve is equal to pi, the length of the curve above is also equal to pi. Students...

Geometers find the area of four circles given their circumferences. Circumference is presented in the form of "numeral (diameter) x pi"; the answer key shows solutions as  "numeral (radius squared) x pi," so computation is...

In this Pi Day worksheet, students complete activities such as reading a passage, phrase matching, fill in the blanks, correct words, multiple choice, spelling sequencing, scrambled sentences, asking questions, take a survey, and...

In this algebra worksheet, high schoolers ponder life's questions presented in several episodes of The Simpson's. They calculate the square root of 1 million and verify known facts concerning pi. There are 9 questions.

In this circumference worksheet, students calculate circumference of circle, answering in terms of pi. An answer key is given.

Estimate the value of one of the most famous irrational numbers. The hands-on lesson plan instructs classmates to measure the circumference and diameters of circles using yarn. The ratio of these quantities defines pi.

In this chemistry worksheet, students respond to several multiple choice questions relating to bonding and acid-bases. They also identify the various types of bases and how they differ from each other.

Discuss all things round and round. Pupils review finding area and the circumference of circles and use them to solve problems. Next, they learn about central angles and their relationships to measures of arcs. Learners then find out how...

In this geometric circumference activity, 8th graders calculate the circumference of each of the 18 circles. The remaining pages of the activity include formulas and lesson ideas on finding the circumference of circles.

In this factoring polynomials learning exercise, 9th graders solve and complete 33 different multiple choice problems. First, they determine the equation that best represents a simplified form after factoring out the GCF. Then, students...

What do skateboarding and baked goods have in common with math? You can use them to connect half-pipe ramps and cakes to arcs and sectors. Pupils compare the lengths of three different ramp options of a skate park. They calculate the...

Extend the concept of exponents to irrational numbers. In the fifth installment of a 35-part module, individuals use calculators and rational exponents to estimate the values of 2^(sqrt(2)) and 2^(pi). The final goal is to show that the...

Estimating the value of numbers is much harder than it sounds! Scholars compare and order the value of numbers presented in different forms including fractions, decimals, roots, integers, and pi. This builds on the previous lessons in...

In this measurement worksheet, students identify the area, perimeter and circumference of a diagram. They also find the size of a pond based on the diagram shown on the sheet. Finally, students calculate how much carpet is needed to be...

In this volume learning exercise, students find the volume of 6 prisms/cylinders.  Students use a picture and given measurements of the prisms/cylinders to find the volume.

Algebra learners must know how to use rational numbers to approximate irrationals. This resource asks participants to decide which number is larger without using a calculator. It makes a great exercise to use as a five-minute transition...

There are four irrational numbers that participants need to graph. Pi(π), -(½ x π), and √17 are easy to approximate with common rational numbers. On the other hand, the commentary describing the irrational number 2√2 is not...
