Every year maths enthusiasts celebrate Pi Day on March 14th (3.14) and this date also marks International Day of Maths. This year to celebrate Smestow Academy are running several competitions.
During form time each form was challenged to create a tessellating design out of Pi symbols. The form with the most creative design will win a prize. In addition pupils were asked to write a Piku, a poem similar in structure to a Japanese Haiku but following the structure of the number Pi. All entries should be submitted to Mrs Butler by Monday 17th March and will receive 10 house points. The overall winner will receive 100 house points.
In the Library there are some Pi symbol mazes to test pupils problem solving skills and during lunch on Friday there will be a Pi day themed word search.
In addition on Pi Day KS3 will take part in a short Pi day themed activity during their maths lesson.
