This measurement activity gives students an introduction to Pi. They will measure the diameter and circumference of a variety of cylinders to find Pi. Tables are included that allow students to measure in either inches, centimeters, or both. A teacher page is provided that can be used on the SmartBoard or made into an overhead. Also included is a vocabulary list and sample discussion questions.
This activity combines physical activity with math, social studies, reading and research skills. Students "travel" through the geographical area they are studying, visiting points of interest.
