Pi Day: Baking Fun into Mathematics 圆周率日：将乐趣融入数学

On March 14, Secondary students at Yew Chung International School of Beijing joined millions of students around the world in celebrating Pi Day. Held every year on March 14 (3.14), Pi Day is an international celebration of the beauty and importance of mathematics.

3月14日，北京耀中国际学校的中学生与全球数百万学生一起庆祝圆周率日。圆周率日是一年一度的庆祝数学常数π的国际节日，定在3月14日，旨在庆祝数学之美好与重要。

For this year’s activities, YCIS Beijing teamed up with the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival to transform the entire gymnasium into a maze of mathematics puzzles, as students competed against themselves to solve a collection of 18 fun and challenging games. The activities were chosen specifically because they had both a low floor and a high ceiling – with an easy entry point, they were accessible to all age levels of students, yet they could be extended for higher-level students as well.

在今年的庆祝活动中，北京耀中与Julia Robinson数学节联手将整个体育馆变成了数学迷宫，学生们相互竞争参与18个有趣且具有挑战性的游戏。这些游戏都是特别选择的，它们可供所有年龄段的学生参与，有一个简单的切入点，但也可以扩展到高年级学生，即门槛较低，天花板很高。

The aim of Pi Day is to remind students of the importance of mathematics, but also of how fun it can be. Sharee Hebert, Secondary Mathematics Teacher at YCIS Beijing, explains more, including tips for parents to get their children excited about math, and outdoors math activities for the entire family this spring season!

庆祝圆周率日的目的是提醒学生们数学的重要性，同时也让他们感觉到数学是很有趣的。 北京耀中国际学校中学数学教师Sharee Hebert解释了更多内容，包括家长如何能让孩子对数学感兴趣，以及家庭可以在春季进行的数学户外活动。
