Here are some resources to explore Pi Day!

I highly recommend starting with BrainPop. The kids love this site, it is fun, educational, and they can take a quiz at the end to test their knowledge.

BrainPop is offering free membership right now, this is a wonderful resource for kids to explore and have access to.

I hope you have a great Pi Day and enjoy some Pi or even some pie!
