Did you celebrate Pi Day yesterday? Ann Arbor Academy, a nonprofit day school for students with learning differences (especially those with AD/HD, autism spectrum disorder, and language-based learning disabilities), helped their students celebrate the “holiday” in style. Some of their Pi Day activities included a significant digits in Pi contest, calculating Pi from a circle, and memorizing digits of Pi. And of course, the winners got to “Pi”-face their teachers! For more details, check out the photos on the Ann Arbor Academy Facebook page.
