March 14th marks the annual celebration of Pi Day, honoring the mathematical constant π (pi), which represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi, an irrational number approximately equal to 3.14159, holds significance across various scientific disciplines, including geometry, physics, engineering, and even music theory. Its infinite, non-repeating decimal expansion symbolizes infinity and mystery, captivating mathematicians and enthusiasts alike.

Pi Day 2025 presents an opportunity to engage students with interactive activities like Ratio Riddles, PiCraft, and Math Progress. Ratio Riddles, a lesson from Minecraft Education, introduces concepts of ratio, proportion, fractions, and scale through engaging games. PiCraft offers a student workbook blending gaming and learning, allowing students to estimate and calculate the area of a circle within the Minecraft universe, applying mathematical concepts through coding with Microsoft MakeCode. These hands-on experiences aim to make math more meaningful and strengthen students' confidence in the subject.
