What is Pi Day?
Pi Day is mathematical holiday that is typically celebrated on March 14th since the decimal approximation of pi begins with 3.14 which corresponds to the 3rd month and 14th day of the month.
Fun Fact – March 14th is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. I always think that is such a fun coincidence.
If you want a full guide to celebrating Pi Day with your math students, I suggest checking out my Pi Day Celebration Guide. It is full of links to pi day activities, pi day puzzles, and much more pi-related fun such as the Pi Symbol Pentominoes Puzzle, 3-1-4 Pi Day Number Challenge, or the Pi Day Square Puzzle.

Puzzle Solutions
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
