Happy Pi Day!

Today, March 14, 3/14, is Pi Day!  It's the day that we, math geeks, celebrate the irrational number, pi.  Just in case you've forgotten, pi is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of any circle.  Pi also appears with the numbers "e" and "i" in some situations.

Student Chalk Math Work

My students used sidewalk chalk to write out solutions to math problems today.  It was a lot of fun for them.

More Signs of Spring

These flowers are almost finished even though spring hasn't officially arrived.

Spring in Southern California

Spring hasn't officially begun, but that hasn't stopped our fields from bursting out in green.

Firehouse Patterns

These fire hoses, neatly coiled, make an interesting pattern.  Being inside the fire house while voting gave me a unique close-up view.

Young California Hikers

These little hikers decided that making roads in the dirt was more fun than continuing along the trail.

Firehoses

Last Tuesday we had a local election.  This time my polling place was our local fire station.  I liked seeing the fireman's boots lined up next to the exercise equipment.
