PI Fun at Mariemont Elementary Students, teachers and mathematicians celebrated Pi day on 3-14-2014. The sixth grade math students at Mariemont Elementary joined in on the fun at the annual sixth grade Pi competition led by math teacher, Mr. Gary Browning. While learning about how to deciper the circumference of circles, all of the sixth grade math students were invited to memorize Pi to as many place values as they could for the chance to compete in the annual Pi contest. The Pi contest runs just like a spelling bee, but instead of spelling words the students recite the digits that make up the value of Pi. Ten mathematicians qualified for the championship round. Three students served as judges, calling up each participant to the stage and keeping track of the total number of digits recited correctly. While all of the sixth grade students and teachers looked on each Pi contestant

Mariemont Elementary students celebrate PI Day by memorizing PI up to 300 digits! came up to the stage and began reciting, “3.1459265358979….” Students recited from 20 to over 300 digits!

Congratulations to all of the Mariemont Elementary sixth grade mathematicians!
