CRRL Kids: Pi Day

By:

CRRLKids

Central Rappahannock Regional Library

Staff-created list

No, we did not misspell that delectable dessert dish that is traditionally served at Thanksgiving or can be as American as, well, Mom and baseball. 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. That's why we celebrate Pi Day on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Of course, we celebrate it by having--you guessed it--pie! Pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, fruit pie, shepherd's pie, and even pizza pie are worthy celebratory treats. And while you're eating, take a look at some of these titles that might help "round" out your day.
