Videos I Will Use In My Instruction

Every year I celebrate Pi day.   Sometimes I have already taught about pi other times I haven't so I do a brief intro and inform the students that they will discover the beauty of pi at a later date. It's on 3/14 at 1:59 with 26 seconds past...get it 3.1415926...Ok, I'm a nerd!  My husband makes fun of me but he did contribute to my madness by buying me a pie container (pictured above) with the symbol pi in the center and the number going around the circumference of the pie holder.  I show the students my pi holder and then fill up the holder with Little Debbie Oatmeal Pies (No, I don't bake a real pie) and pass out cakes and we eat at 1:59.  The two videos I chose will allow me to make musical ties with pi!
