SONG BOOKLET

Pi Day (March 14 or 3/14) is a day to celebrate our favorite number, 3.14159.... The marvelous mysteries of this number could be probed forever, but we will limit ourselves to some carols you can sing on our numbers own special day, perhaps even at Pi o'clock that afternoon. Sing heartily!

Station 3: Sing a Pi song


At this station you will find several songs.with familiar tunes.The difference is the very important WORDS! Sing a solo or sing it as a group to get credit here!

Dont forget: To get credit at this station, sing your song for your teacher and have them sign off in the box in your booklet!

The Area of a Circle


(to the tune of Wheels on the Bus) The Area of a circle is Pi r squared Pi r squared Pi r squared The Area of a circle is Pi r squared No matter what The circumference of a circle is 2 pi r 2 pi r 2 pi r The circumference of a circle is 2 pi r All around the circle

Oh Number Pi Version 1
(to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree) Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi Your digits are unending, Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi No pattern are you sending. You're three point one four one five nine, And even more if we had time, Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi For circle lengths unbending. Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi You are a number very sweet, Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi Your uses are so very neat. There's 2 Pi r and Pi r squared, A half a circle and you're there, Oh, number Pi Oh, number Pi We know that Pi's a tasty treat.

Circle Song
(to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star) Take your finger round a jar Circumfrence equals 2r. For area, you multiply R squared by that number . Twinkle, twinkle, youre a star Knowing math will take you far!

We wish you a Happy Pi Day!


(to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas) We wish you a happy Pi Day We wish you a happy Pi Day We wish you a happy Pi Day To you and to all Pi numbers for you For you and for all Pi numbers in the month of March On three point one four!

Happy Pi Day!

Ring the Bells Version 1


(to the tune of Jingle Bells) Refrain: Pi day songs All day long. Oh, what fun it is, To sing a jolly pi day song in a fun math class like this. (Repeat) Verse: Circles in the snow, Around and round we go. How far did we have to run? Diameter times pi! (Refrain )

Pi Day Time
(to the tune of Silver Bells , starting at "City sidewalks")
Random digits, Endless digits Transcendental in style, In the air there's a feeling of Pi Day. Children laughing, People graphing, Worry-free for a while, And in every math classroom you'll hear Three one four One five nine It's Pi Day Time at Scullen!. Three one four One five nine Savor those numbers, today!

Ring the Bells Version 2


(to the tune of Jingle Bells )
Basking in the glow Of a Math Class holiday. All we need to know Is "Pi will lead the way!" To circles we will sing, The digits we'll recite The ratio gives us everything It's geometry's delight! Oh! Ring the bells, Pi Day spells Fun with 3 - 1 - 4! It's the day to celebrate That number we adore! Oh! Ring the bells, Pi Day spells Fun with 3 - 1 - 4! First we take one slice of Pi And then we ask for more!

The Pi Song
( to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) Note: also that all digits should be read separately, as Three point one four one five etc! To find a circles area will often make you queasy, Its not just simply length by width or anything that easy. But then one day youll find a number that will help your brain, It might be transcendental but its sure to save you pain! Oh! Chorus: 3.1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 If you were to say it all then youd be here a long time. Multiply by two r and then you will have a curved line 3.1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi! Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi! If you were to write Pi to several hundred thousand digits, Any who saw patterns there Id have to say were id(j)iots. The proof that Pis irrational is just too long for now, But if you ask your math teacher Im sure hell show you how! Oh! (Chorus) Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi! Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi! So if you have a sphere whose volume you must quickly know, Its simply one and one third Pi by r cubed dont you know. But better use it carefully or Pi can lose its gloss (Spoken) Ahem, for instance, one night I used it on some trig, And now my sins a cos! Ooooooohhhhhh! (Chorus, speeding up to a grand Pi finale!)

Oh Number Pi Version 2
(to the tune of O, Christmas Tree ) Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi You're truly transcendental. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi You're physical and mental. You stretch the bounds...of all we know, And tell our circles where to go Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi Your digits are so gentle. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi Why can't I learn you faster? Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi You're really hard to master. Just when I think...I've got you down I flip a 6 and 5 around Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi Numerical disaster! Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi Why are you so specific? Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi Your digit growth's terrific. Ten years ago, you had a Mill And now you're at a couple Trill Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi You stretch to the Pacific!

Lose Yourself (In the Digits)


Look, if you hadone shotone opportunity To recite the digits of the number pi One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? His palms are sweaty, knees weak, head is heavy The numbers cloud his vision already, keep it steady Hes nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To re-cite, but its not quite off-settin That hes froze now, and the whole crowd knows he vowed To get it perfect, but the numbers wont come out Hes chokin, how everybodys jokin now Three point one fivewoopskablouw! Snap back to reality, oh, its a malady Oh, its so random, he choked He cant stand, but he wont give up That easy, no He wont have it, he knows all his fans really hope He can shatter the glob al world record of Fo rty-two-thousand*, although If-he-looks down at his notes, he knows thats when its Back to the learnin by rote To feel rapture Hed better capture those digits a little faster You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, its a high But you got a thousand more to go The numbers do not stop Or drop into pattern, no And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime If Im not mistaken, my memorys wakin This numbers mine for the taking Hear it ring, as I list all the, digits in order And whole numbers are borin, approximations just keep me snorin, Pi only grows longer to get more precise A rounded-off fraction just wont cut the ice So twenty-two sevenths, you take my advice If I catch you round here, you will Pay the price, so give up this faade, Ray-shee-os are oh so flawed They close the door to those who like infinite Strings of ohs, 2s, 9s, 3s, and 6s, it Shows the woes of-all-the schmoes who chose 8

To forgo Pis logic, and I Dont suppose those bozos applaud it When I throw down the gauntlet, with a Three point one four I got it! You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, its a high But you got a thousand more to go The numbers do not stop Or drop into pattern, no And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime Pi is 3.141592653589793238462643383279 No more games, Im-a bust right outta my cage, and Get my Pi-recitin groove on, on this here stage I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed I been broken up from soakin up this whole page But I kept churnin and kept learnin to decipher The rhythm of the number that makes me so hyper All the pain and strife amplified by the Fact that I cant get back to my life, Im Whacked and I dont exactly know why, Im Acting like I am attracted to Pi! So Back to a kid jam-packed with random numbers I think this whole process is makin me dumber It still shakes me up, man, it makes me sentimental That a number so essential is also transcendental Caught up between bein in fashion and bein irrational Its passion flashin through my brain Whenever I explain it I just think pi is nice, Would you... like a slice? Ive gotten to the point, its like a vice, Im not Afraid of gettin' caught, but still it hurts a lot Success is my only mathematic option, failures not Pi, I love you, but these people got to know A million tiny circles haunt my every thought So here I go with my shot Brain, fail me not, This may be the only opportunity that I got! You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, its a high But you got a thousand more to go The numbers do not stop Or drop into pattern, no And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime Pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445 yeeeah. You can do anything you set your mind to, man. Even memorizin pi. Im out. 9

American Pi
(to the tune of Don McLeans American Pie) INTRO: A long, long time ago I can still remember How that mathematics made me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I would ace geometry class And make my parents happy for a while. But some math books made me shiver-Facts on tablets, all delivered: Nothing past the rational, And nothing transcendental. I cant remember if I cried, Reading 3 point 1 4 1 5 9.. But something touched me deep inside The day I learned of piso: Find, find the value of pi, Starts 3 point 1 4 1 5 9. Good ol boys gave it a try, But the decimal never dies, the decimal never dies......... In the Bible we do see the circle ratio appears as three, Or a little more.... That genius Archimedes found with polygons, an upper bound Of 22 sevenths for sure! The Chinese got it really keen: three-five-five over one thirteen! More joined the action with arctan series and continued fractions. In the 1700s, my oh my, the English coined the symbol , Then Lambert showed it was a lie to look for rational pi. He started singing .......... Find, find the value of pi Twice 11 over 7 is a mighty fine try A good ol fraction you might hope to supply, But the decimal never dies, the decimal never dies.

Late 1800s, Lindemann shared why a circle cant be squared But some folks tried anyway-Like the Indiana doctor who said pi was 4 or 3.2 And thought his proof should be a law someday. The Indiana congressmen Discussed his paper there and then A bill got through the House by a vote unanimous! But in the end the statesmen sighed, Its not for us to decide, So the bill was left to die like the quest for rational pi. They started singing ........ Find, find the value of pi Buffons needle popped the bubble of that ol doctors try A good ol fraction could not be supplied Cause the decimal never dies, the decimal never dies. That doctors pi in the sky dreams may not look so extreme Cause we long believed Deductive systems could be complete and there was one true geometry. But now theres more we see In these computer times, we test the best machines to find pi to a trillion places that so far lack patterns traces. Its great when we can truly see math as human history-That adds curiosity...... easy as pi! Lets all try singing..... Find, find the value of pi 3 point 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9... A good ol fraction you might hope to define But the decimal never dies, the decimal never dies.
