I thought I would let you know Charlie and I will be celebrating PI(E) Day and we might enter the Great PI(E) Day Bake-off. I was going over what we would need to do with Charlie.
I thought you might want to check this out with your friends and family. Don’t forget you can make cooking/ baking a part of your Homeschool Curriculum.
No one really needs a reason to bake pie, but we couldn’t think of a better time to eat pie than on PI(E)Day. Yes, it’s that time of year—March 14, or 3.14—the day math enthusiasts and dessert lovers can unite over a delicious slice of pie. If you are searching for a fun way to celebrate your love of infinite decimal places with your kids, we have just the challenge for you….a PI(E) bake-off! |
Here’s how it works:
– Bake your favorite PI(E)s and send us a picture with your recipe by midnight on 3/14. Enter as many pies as you wish. Include your first name, PI(E) photo, recipe, email, school and grade. Send to: pieday@tumblehomelearning.com
– Our judges are looking for creativity, PI(E) themed décor, and fun! Awards will be presented for “Best PI(E) Symmetry” “Best Lattice PI(E)” and “Most Creative PI(E)”.
– The three lucky winners will receive Katie Coppens’ books, Geometry Is As Easy As Pie and Geology Is A Piece Of Cake – both use baking to teach concepts in math and geology. Winners will be announced on 3/15.
To help you get your PI(E) baking underway, Katie is providing a free video tutorial on making Parallel and Perpendicular Lattice Apple Pie from her book Geometry Is As Easy As Pie.
