International Day of Mathematics
The International Day of Mathematics takes place on 14/3 every year. In the US that is written 3.14 and that is the common approximation of Pi and a celebration called “Pi Day” evolved. When it came time to have an International Celebration of Maths, Pi day seemed to be a logical choice.
There are many ideas on the IDM website with ideas for how to celebrate it. The Maths Eyes team have come up with a great competition for all schools on the island – details below.
