Sweet, I'll have to check some of these out. I hadn't realized this Pi Day was so special this year, that is rather cool.
Pi day is pretty awesome this year. It's also my sister's 40th birthday!
Awesome list!
I sucked in geometry, and in math in general. Or was it the way I was taught? Anyway, I am re-discovering math now, as an adult.
This is a great list that I'm going to dig into deeper. Both of my girls struggle with visualizing math concepts. BTW...I'm visiting from the TGIF Link-Up
