The “Pi Day Activities for the Classroom” collection from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is an educational resource designed to help teachers celebrate Pi Day (March 14) while engaging students in real-world math and science. The webpage gathers a variety of lesson plans, challenges, and problem sets that show how the mathematical constant pi (π ≈ 3.14) is used in space exploration and scientific research.
The activities are organized by grade levels—from elementary to high school—and allow students to solve problems similar to those faced by NASA scientists and engineers. Through illustrated challenges and short investigations, learners use pi to calculate things such as spacecraft data collection, the distance traveled by Mars rovers, the area of telescope mirrors, or the volume of rock samples collected on Mars.
This resource is a creative way to connect mathematics with space science and STEM learning.
