Pi recitation
What IS pi? Pi stands for a number that never ends. It is used in the study of circles.
Book: Box Meets Circle by Aaron Hartline
Song : “Shapes” (Tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)
A circle is a shape that goes round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
A circle is a shape that goes round and round,
Round and round.
A triangle is a shape with three sides,
Three sides, three sides.
A triangle is a shape with three sides,
Three sides.
A square is a shape with four sides,
Four sides, four sides,
A square is a shape with four sides,
Four sides.

Flannel: One Whole Pie
One whole pie
Set by the door,
Cut into pieces,
I count four.
Four pieces of pie,
All for me,
I ate one piece (make loud eating sounds as you take the piece of the board)
Now there are three.
Three pieces of pie
For me too
I ate another piece,
Now there are two.
Two pieces of pie
Oh! What fun!
I ate another piece,
Now there is one.
One piece of pie
I can’t wait!
I ate that last piece
Empty plate!

Song: “Make a Circle, Draw a Square” (Tune: “Oh My Darling Clementine”)
Make a circle, make a circle, draw it in the sky
Use your finger, use your finger, make it round as pie
Make a square, make a square, make the lines so straight
Draw a square, draw a square, draw one or draw eight
Draw a triangle, draw a triangle, always start at the top
Make a tent, make a tent, use three lines and then stop!
