Grades 11-12：Pi Day

To Celebrate the number 3.14, also called Pi, SHSID’s students participated in math related activities. Monthlies had just finished and everyone was ready for this exciting event.

Activities were divided into three categories: games, visual art, and cosplay.

The types of games provided were Fun Math, Sudoku, 24-point, Match, 314, and Decryption. Questions were hung everywhere in the classrooms for Fun Math, ready for students to approach and take them. The atmosphere during the Sudoku challenge was intense! The students were all extremely competitive in their efforts to finish first. Teachers and helpers had a rough time grading the completed Sudoku’s. In the 24-point game, students could participate head-to-head with other students. The regular rules applied when students competed with one another. Students also could participate in Match games where they solved mathematical logical problems using matches. 314 was the most exciting game of all. Students searched for pink cards written with numbers across the entire second-floor hallway. If they were able to combine those numbers with any mathematical method and arrive at the number three-hundred fourteen, they were rewarded 10 points.

Students with artistic talent could show-off their skills in the Visual Art section. The theme was ‘The Beauty of Math’. Students could bring their own materials and within a time limit of 30 minutes, they were required to present an art piece.

In the Cosplay section, students with creative minds celebrated Pi Day by dressing up as a mathematician. Teachers and faculty cast votes to pick out the best-dressed winner.
