If PI goes on without end how can you ever truly find the circumference or diameter of a circle?

You just take 22/7 and subtract an irrational number. :)

If I give you a one-pound cake, how can you truly divide it into three equal parts, by weight?

The math teacher at our school makes Pi day into a very big deal. The kids make posters, and bring in all kinds of goodies

To top it off the kids have a competition seeing who knows and can say Pi to the longest number.

The student who won this year was able to recite Pi to the 210th number.
