Discovering Pi With Sticky Notes
🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students will experiment with sticky notes to find the area of a circle and, along the way, discover pi!
⚠️Warning: Double-check that your post-its match up with the circle's radius. Some printers may shrink the circle's size. The circle should be 6" across.
Steps
- First, students will cut up post-it notes, trying to see how many they can fit inside of a circle.
- Then, you can reveal that (if you had perfect precision) you could fit exactly π post-its into the circle.
