Math Fair (Pi Day), 14 March 2019

On the 14th of March 2019, Secondary students celebrated  Pi Day. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. ... Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. The students participated in different competitions like Pi Value memorisation contest, Math Quiz Bee and Pie Decoration contest.

The students also prepared different activities and games on each of their designated booths. While some students memorised the Pi value in a more  traditional way, others memorised it through a song, which is really refreshing to see. The Grade 9 students won the Pi value memorisation contest when they were able to recite up to 117 value of Pi. Great work Grade 9 students!

Math Quiz Bees were held for both Junior and Senior High students. Most of the questions and trivias  were related to the value of Pi. It's nice to see that the learners are very knowledgeable in using the Pi value is solving different Math problems. Malik from Grade 8 was the overall champion for the Junior High Division while Naufal of Grade 9 triumphed  as the champion for the Senior High Division.

The students were able to showcase their creativity and talent in the Pie Decoration Contest. Each group were really focused and determined to show their skills and resourcefulness in decorating their pie. Parents and teachers acted as judges to determine the best decorated pie. Again, the Grade 9 students proved that they were the team to beat when they bagged another win on this competition.

Overall, it was a fun and entertaining Math Fair celebration where both students, parents and  guests enjoyed the games, contests and eating lots of pies!
