Join the Cat in the Hat as he explains how to measure circles and
calculate pi in this perfect choice for Pi Day celebrations and
nurturing a love of math and numbers!
The Cat in the Hat makes calculating pi--one of the most fascinating
numbers in mathematics--as easy as pie! Using a piece of string and
two sticks, the Cat first shows beginning readers how to draw a perfect
circle. Then, using a can and a piece of ribbon, he shows how to measure
a circle's circumference and diameter, and to use those measurements to
calculate pi. Also included is information about the history of
measurement and famous Pi Pioneers!
Written in simple rhyme, Happy Pi Day is a natural choice for
celebrating Pi Day (held annually on March 14), and for nurturing a
child's interest in math. Fans of the hit PBS show The Cat in the Hat
Knows a Lot About That! will be delighted at this new addition to the
Learning Library series.
