Pi’s Day: Let’s square the circle! NEW educational program for third to sixth grade

NOESIS invites you to the educational program inspired by the science of mathematics:

Pi Day: Let’s square the circle!

Try to live even for one day without using a single number! But how will this be done?

Mathematics is everywhere! In nature, in painting, in architecture! Mathematics exists in the chair you sit, in the pizza you eat, in your computer, in the Sun, in the universe, in music and in the human body! Let’s give them the chance to become our favorite science! What do you think?

Within 1.5 hours, children become familiar with the science of mathematics. They experiment, understand and learn to calculate the constant p. Through activities and constructions they locate its connection with the cycle and explore it in everyday objects.

Date and time: Saturday 15/3/2025, at 17:00

Day of the “p” – What is it?
On March 14, we celebrate the day of the “π” or otherwise the number 3.14159265. In mathematics, π is a mathematical constant, a symbol, which is used internationally and represents the quotient of the length of the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter of the circle. The Day of π is celebrated every year on March 14 (3/14 in the American way of writing dates), because 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of the number pi (π = 3.14159…) in the decimal numbering system. In 1988, the first festive event was organized for the Day of pi. Its inspirer and organizer was the American physicist and artist Larry Shaw (Larry Shaw, Lawrence N. Shaw, 1939-2017), who worked in one of the most famous Science Museums in the world, the Exploratorium, in San Francisco, USA.
