About
• Pi Day is a holiday held to celebrate the
mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is
observed on March 14 (3/14 in American date
format), due to π being equal to roughly 3.14.
Sometimes it is celebrated on March 14 at 1:59
p.m. (commonly known as Pi Minute). If π is
truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes
3.1415926, making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m.
History
• The first Pi Day celebration was held at the
San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, with
staff and public marching around one of its
circular spaces, and then consuming fruit pies;
the museum has since added pizza pies to its Pi
Day menu

Pi Day Time
(to the tune of Silver Bells, starting at
"City sidewalks…")
Three one four…
Random digits,
Endless digits
Transcendental in style,
In the air there's a feeling of Pi Day.
Children laughing,
People graphing,
Worry-free for a while,
And in every math classroom you'll
hear…
One five nine…
It's Pi Day Time at
Haverford High School
Three one four…
One five nine…
Savor those numbers,
today!
