Pi Day is celebrated every March 14 in honor of the first three digits of the never-ending number sequence. It’s a popular day across the country, and not just for mathematicians. Much like the popular Star Wars Day in May, Pi Day has gathered a following due to the unusual celebrations. So how do you celebrate a day like Pi Day? Eating pie. Whether you bake it, buy it, or enter a pie-eating contest to get it, pie is an essential part to Pi Day. Yes, some memorize as much of the Pi sequence as they can for the day, but you can’t miss out on this delicious tradition. With the three pies below, celebrate Pi Day the only way you can: eating desserts so you can discover their diameters and circumference. Isn’t that how your geometry teacher taught you to do it?
