Pi Day logic puzzles, mazes, equations, circles and more! This pack of 16 math worksheets gives lots of options for celebrating Pi Day in your classroom. Along the way, students will learn about Albert Einstein whose birthday is on March 14, and physicist Larry Shaw who founded Pi Day in 1988.

 

The Pi Day math activity sheets in this pack can also be used for sub days, early finisher assignments, morning work, centers, stations, or as part of your curriculum units to give extra practice. 

 

Inside are 16 printable worksheets:

• Pi Day word search (2 levels)
• Puzzle sheet #1 (2 levels) - number puzzles and maze
• Puzzle sheet #2 - number puzzles and maze
• Puzzle sheet #3 - number puzzles and maze
• Order of operations sheet to solve for missing digits of pi
• 2-step equations sheet to learn about Albert Einstein
• Circles sheet for area and circumference (2 versions - 3.14 and pi button)
• Cylinders sheet for volume (2 versions - 3.14 and pi button)
• Cones sheet for volume (2 versions - 3.14 and pi button)
• Spheres sheet to solve for radius given volume or surface area
• Pi Day coloring sheet with Albert Einstein

 

All worksheets include answer keys. 

 

Details:

There are 2 versions of the word search, both with 15 Pi Day themed words to find. One word search has a 20x20 letter grid, and the other has a 15x15 letter grid. The words are the same between the two versions.

 

The puzzle sheets include number puzzles, picture puzzles and mazes. The number puzzles ask students to use the order of operations, arrange given numbers into a grid to make sums, arrange operations around four 4s to make given numbers, and figure out missing numbers in crossword-like puzzles.

 

Students simplify expressions with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and groupings on the order of operations sheet. Answers fill in missing digits of pi to the 35th digit.

 

The 2-step equations sheet asks students to solve equations to figure out the missing numbers in facts about Albert Einstein's life.

 

There are 2 versions of the circles sheet-- one where students use 3.14 and one where they use their calculator's pi button. Students calculate area and circumference of circles given radius or diameter, then color the sections of the circles based on the key.

 

There are 2 versions of the cylinders sheet-- one where students use 3.14 and one where they use their calculator's pi button. Students calculate the volumes of cylinders given height and radius or diameter, then color their cylinders based on the key.

 

There are 2 versions of the cones sheet-- one where students use 3.14 and one where they use their calculator's pi button. Students calculate the volumes of cones given height and radius or diameter, then color their cones based on the key.

 

The spheres sheet is the most challenging of the worksheets where students solve for radius given surface area or volume. Once students round their radius lengths to the nearest whole number, they color the spheres based on the key.

 

The last worksheet is a coloring sheet for all ages. It features Albert Einstein along with other Pi Day themed images. Happy Pi Day!
