Pi Day
- 23 Mar 2015
On Friday the 13th of March, McKinnon celebrated Pi Day with our annual Pi Reciting Competition. This year, Pi Day had a special significance being on the 3/14/15 representing the first four decimal places of Pi of 3.1415.
We had class champions from all Mathematics classes battle is out to recite as many decimal places of the irrational number pi as they could to determine overall year level champions.
Our year level champions are as follows:
In year 7, Harry Fletcher recited 82 places.
In year 8, Bianca Denisenko recited 168, beating last years record of 144 places.
In year 9, there was a tie with Neg Hamedani and Braydon Ross, both reciting 163 places each.
In year 10, Andy Zhan recited 96 places.
In year 12, Ruby Comte recited 27 places.
We also had many students write out the number pi. Our winner was Jade Wulkan writing out 226 places!
