Pi Day

🥧 Pi Day

March 14 is widely known around the world as Pi Day. The date (3/14) represents the first three digits of the mathematical constant π (pi) — one of the most famous numbers in mathematics.

Pi is used to calculate the circumference and area of circles, and it is particularly fascinating because it has an infinite number of digits that never repeat. Mathematicians have calculated trillions of digits of π, and the number continues forever!

Pi Recitation Challenge

To celebrate the day, the Mathematics faculty once again hosted our annual Pi Recitation Challenge, where students were invited to memorise and recite as many digits of π as possible.

As Pi Day fell on a Saturday this year, the competition was held on March 13 (Pi Day minus one) so that students could still take part during the school week.

Students who participated showed impressive concentration and determination as they attempted to recall the long sequence of digits that make up π. Although the field of competitors was small this year, the effort and enthusiasm from those involved was excellent.

Our Pi Champion 🏆

A special congratulations goes to Jayden Wei (8D), who delivered an outstanding performance by correctly reciting 61 digits of π from memory.

This is an impressive achievement that demonstrates not only a strong memory but also a great passion for mathematics. Well done Jayden!

We hope to see even more students participating in next year’s challenge as we continue to celebrate curiosity, problem-solving and the enjoyment of mathematics.
