Pie Town

Posted on by

In preparation for Pi Day, 7th grade drew little pictures with water colors involving clever ways to show pi, mathematically and the food. On the actual Pi Day which is on March 14 or 3-14. We ate all different kinds of pie during math time and did some hands on problems involving pi. You find pi by dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter and even if the circumference isn’t measure exactly it will always be around 3.14.  My picture is of Pie Town! Yum!

For this double points TAPS problem was supposed to make a picture out of at least 4 geometric shape, one being a trapezoid. I made a spooky tree out of 1 trapezoid, 4 triangles, 4 pentagons, and 2 hexagons. Once I was done with creating the tree, I had to find the area of it. I divided the pentagons and hexagons into 2 trapezoid or a trapezoid and a triangle. After neck breaking division, multiplication, and addition, I was finally able to find the area of the tree. It was 116.875 sq cm. This was a very hard but fun math problem.
