Pi Day Math Project PBL - Make Pie in the Classroom

✨Make Pie for PI DAY✨ Searching for engaging Pi Day Math Activities? Look no further! Our Pi Day activity is tailored for students in 4th Grade, 5th Grade, 6th Grade, Middle School, and High School classrooms. Dive into the world of Pi with this hands-on math activity where students utilize fractions, repeated addition, or multiplying fractions to convert a recipe and bake an actual pie for Pi Day!

​

This Pi Day Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity promises an unforgettable experience for you and your students. Plus, don't miss out on the FREE Pi Day Extension Activity! In this extension, students measure the circumference, diameter, and radius of their pie to calculate... Pi itself! It's a delightful circumference math activity that adds an extra layer of fun to Pi Day celebrations!

​

• I know what you're thinking.... Too big of a mess, I don't have an oven, let alone a microwave, not worth it.... WRONG!
• So now you're asking, "Ok, convince me how making pie in the classroom could ever work let alone be worth it..."
• 2 words: Ziplock Bags. That's right! No bowls, no spoons. Students convert the recipe by either adding fractions or multiplying them, measure ingredients into a bag, and mix in a sealed bag.
