PERU, IL, March 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pi Day is all about the constant Pi known by students, teachers and parents everywhere. PiZone.org is celebrating this momentous holiday by with a website that has a little bit for everyone and is filled to the brim with games, trivia and interactive fun.
Pi Day is dedicated to the most famous never-ending number in the world and piZone.org is your one-stop shop for all things Pi-related from fun facts and crafts to videos. There are so many resources that it will make celebrating Pi Day...well, as easy as Pi.
In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed resolution (HR 224) making March 14 (3.14) National Pi Day (3.14). It gives recognition to the importance of learning about math and science. Everyone can take advantage of the day to teach children and adults about Pi and mathematics. PiZone.org is a fun and interactive experience for all.
This Pi paradise is broken down into six slices of education and entertainment.
Play
PiPad Giveaway: What better way to celebrate the holiday than with the most sought after electronic device on the market. PiZone.org is giving away a brand new iPad 2, affectionately called the PiPad.
Slice of Pi: Visitors enter up to a 10-digit number, and they can see how far their number first occurs within the first 200 million digits of Pi. Check your children's birthday, phone number, or favorite lottery numbers.
Watch
Videos: piZone.org created a variety of videos that are both humorous and instructional. Your child will love videos reciting the Pi digits to music, including Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Learn about the history of Pi and Pi in pop culture.
Images: Pi is everywhere and piZone.org has created galleries of images of Pi and handcrafted representations of the individual Pi digits.
Explore
Pneumonics: Pi is endless, but that doesn't mean you can't memorize several digits by heart. For example, you can remember the first 10 digits by thinking about the number of letters in each word of this phrase:
"May I have a large container of coffee? Thank you..."
3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3
There, now you know! 3.141592653 It's as easy as Pi.
Fun Facts: piZone has scoured the Earth for the best facts and trivia pertaining to the popular number. Teachers and parents will love the section about the various Pi art projects available.
Look
