Today's date is 3.14.15, the Ultimate Pi Day!
I celebrated with other families and volunteers at the Leonardo Museum's Pi Day Festival in Salt Lake City.
I was in charge of helping people at the "Cherry Pi" station, where rather than your typical estimation jar, we used math and pi to calculate the volume of the container and the volume of an individual cherry and then calculated to find how many cherries would fit into that volume. My favorite part was walking through step-by-step, the calculation problem with a girl who did not feel very confident in her math abilities. She did a great job!
