Penning Pi-Kus (Pi Solar Daytime 2015)

This was my 2nd twelvemonth to celebrate Pi Day amongst my students.  During my commencement twelvemonth of teaching, I fully intended on celebrating Pi Day, but the twenty-four hours ended upward beingness spent at urgent attention together with inward the emergency room.  So non fun.  This year, I added a novel chemical cistron to our celebration.  We wrote pi-kus.  The commencement business of the poetry form must last 3 syllables.  The 2nd business must last 1 syllable.  The tertiary business of the poetry form must convey 4 syllables.  I didn't count on having to explicate to my high schoolhouse students what syllables were.  Some students never did grasp the syllable idea.



Here's an event of i of my student's pi-kus.  I uncovering it interesting that he started a poetry form nearly hating math but decided to modify that business office means through...

Pi Day Pi-Ku

I'll practise a amount write upward of our pi twenty-four hours celebration soon, but I wanted to portion my students' poems first.  This was a quick, fun action that gave my students a run a peril to last creative!  With my commencement lx minutes class, I wrote a pi-ku every bit an event for them.  Their poems consisted of taking my poetry form together with changing a give-and-take or two.  For the residuum of the day, I gave them no guidance whatsoever.  Their poems were much to a greater extent than thought-out together with creative!  Some of my students struggled amongst the persuasion that a pi-ku didn't non convey to last mathematically themed.

In each class, I gave out a certificate for the best pi-ku.  This was done past times a class-wide vote.  My students volition seriously practise almost anything for a certificate!

Since at that topographic point were quite a few pi-kus written, I've bolded my favorite poems for those who only desire a quick gustation of what my students came upward with.
