Here's a quick video explaining both what Pi is and how the holiday to celebrate it got started:

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I am horrible at math, but I always thought Pi Day was pretty cool.

I did already text “happy pi day” to several others earlier today. I bought pi day t shirts for my children maybe five years ago now.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Quirky fun day and also the area code for my area so double fun today ! Happy pi day !!!
I’m too old for something to have been done in school but they did and do now things in school. fun way to talk about math !!!

 

[Kitty 34]

Ironically I struggled in Math going thru school but I loved teaching it on my many long term Math jobs.


Speaking of Pi....DH bought me a chocolate cream pie yesterday.

 

[Meriweather]

I am okay at math.....but the rest of the adult family are really good at it.....2 engineers and a teacher.
DH and DD always exchange "Happy Pi" day.
Our house lot is 314
DH has a pi shirt and a pi poster in his office. It is Pi sign with all the numbers that would fit around the symbol

I struggled with math growing up. My very limited education did not include anything about Pi as far as I recall, but I'm not surprised by that at all. I really didn't see things about Pi until I got online much later in life and had to figure out what all the memes meant when I saw them on certain days for certain subjects.

I'll never turn down some pie though. Well, I have to limit it a great deal now, but it's one of my personal favorite desserts. The no sugar added variety I sometimes buy seems to work pretty well for my diabetes. I have to very much limit it, but I get to enjoy just a bit if I'm careful and in moderation.

Something is going on at school today, pies most likely. I took the day off to attend a friend’s wedding. She’s marrying a mathematician and they deliberately choose pi day for their nuptials.

 

[RUDisney]

Today is my BFF's birthday, and @Toolulu22, she married a mathematician.

I will talk to her later. She lives 2 hours away from me.

However, later today, I'll be celebrating Holi with my daughter. It is the Hindu celebration of colors. It's a day of peace and harmony.

So, Happy Pi Day! Happy Birthday to my BFF! Best Wishes to @Toolulu22's friends! Happy Holi!!!

P-Mom comin' through in a pinch My math skills have improved considerably now that Alexa and Siri are on-hand. I do like many types of pie, might grab a slice over the weekend

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Math is not a favorite. We never did anything to celebrate when I was growing up. I do recall the kids having a few Pi related assignments in elementary school; however, our spring break is usually aligned with the Daylight Savings shift which also typically coincides with Pi Day. So, it's been years since Pi Day fell in line with a regular school week. I do like pie, but I tend to overdo it. I've been working really hard since November to try and get my weight down, so I will not be indulging in any pie today.

[jo-jo]

I know Pi, don't jump up and down in happiness, but am willing to eat pie.

I really thought this poll was going to be "What's your favorite pie"?

 

[RedAngie]

I always preferred “e” as my favorite irrational transcendental number and believe it deserves its own day too.

 

[hertamaniac]

It's a novel idea to celebrate a mathematic value, but I have no real interest in food participating.

 

[disneychrista]

I think it is a great excuse to eat all things pie. Pizza pie, fruit pie.

 

[Karalee402]

I'm absolutely terrible at Math, but I'll take any excuse to have some pie! Happy Pi Day!

 

[ford family]

It's only a thing in the US. Nobody else uses your month/day/year presentation.

I’m making a pie to celebrate today - Oreo mousse with chocolate ganache in a graham cracker crust. My son’s girlfriend’s brother is hoping to get accepted to MIT today since this is the day they announce their acceptances.
