The Last Word on Pi (for now)

Student groups finished their work on the activity "Finding Pi."  Then we looked at how to express the exact(=) answer, the approximate(~) answer, and the fractional(~) answer.

The fraction that is most commonly associated/used for pi: ²²/₇.

More practice time was allotted to finding the approximation for non-perfect squares. Today's example was: √118 and/or  √54.


HOMEWORK:  NONE -- MTN's for Roberts were collected today and MTN's  Bayle/Shaw groups will be collected tomorrow.
