Pi Day is My Favorite Holiday!
Not only does it happen twice a year, but it's a holiday that celebrates Math! It happens once on March 14th (3.14 the decimal approximation) and then again on July 22 (22/7 the fractional approximation).
This year is extra special because I'm teaching PreCalculus this summer for the first time in over 10 years! I've also organized a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to celebrate Pi Day and STEM related topics. We'll have both pizza and fruit pie!
