About This Product

This is a Pi Paper Chain Activity that will be fun for your middle school math students, while also making a great decoration for your math classroom. This activity contains 30 strips of paper, each representing a place value of Pi. Each strip also has different fun facts about pi. Your students can color and decorate each strip and loop one strip into another in order. Use it to decorate your classroom!

 

You may choose to implement this activity at the start of a Pi math unit. Students may not understand the fun facts right away, but they will be able to make connections as they dive into the unit. This also makes a great review activity at the end of the Pi math unit. Your students will love getting to work alongside each other while coloring and decorating their strips!

You can print strips and distribute them to students to work on as early finishers, until all strips have been decorated.

 

I hope you enjoy!
