    Many math classes celebrate Monday as Pi Day in a variety of ways. Last month was the most Two-sey "Twosday" of centuries. How do you use days of numeric significance to engage your students?

    We've done several different types of pi day celebrations at SUNY Corning CC.  Last year, when we were fully remote, somebody in our department created a pi day Kahoot.  Student Life ran it for the students and gave various prizes.  In past years, we've had art contests where students had to represent pi, food drives of round (canned) foods, and various activities that involve pi. 
    This year we went a little more simple.  We gathered a bunch of students and faculty together and made a human pi.

    And we barely do anything - I had to try to scrape up some activities to do something.  I wish the entire school would support an activity such as this in the same manner we are all supposed to embrace the community book or some other item.
