If you are looking for some ways to celebrate math in your math class, or if you would like to suggest some school-wide thematic activities, you are certain to find ideas on this page to help you design a Pi Day that students will enjoy.

What’s Special About This Number?
Erich Friedman lists the integers from zero to 9,999, annotating each with one significant mathematical property and color-coordinating by that property’s category.
