Mathnasium of Southlake is not your typical learningbrcenter.  At Mathnasium, each Director's goal is to significantly increase yourbrchild's math skills, understanding of math concepts, and overall schoolbrperformance, while building confidence and forging a positive attitude towardbrthe subject.  Although students work hardbron their math skills, they still leave each session thinking they had a ton ofbrfun while learning!  The employees atbrMathnasium take every opportunity to make math fun – this includes celebratingbrPi Day every 14th of March.

PibrDay is a holiday to most mathematicians, on which they celebrate the numberbrPi.  Pi is the sixteenth number of thebrGreek alphabet and is used in countless math calculations.  It is celebrated on the 3/14 because Pi isbrapproximately 3.14.  At Mathnasium,brstudents explored Pi by participating in eight different learning stationsbrcomprised of: games, memorizing the digits of Pi, learning where Pi comes from,brreading about Pi, forming Pi with playdough, writing words with Pi in them,brhula-hooPIng, and a PiEating contest. brThe winner of the PiEating contest had the privilege of Pi-ingbrMathnasium's Lead Instructor in the face.
