given string and scissors and needed to figure out the circumference of a circle without a ruler. They had to use their knowledge of measurements with common items in order to discover the circumference of the circle. This part really challenged my students because they rely on rulers so much. They had to really think about how they would go about finding accurate measurements. This lesson had so many amazing teaching moments for me. My students took away so many things from that lesson. They understood what pi meant and they also learned how to think outside the box to solve a problem. It is a moment I will never forget.
