Pi Day – March 14th

Sue Patterson

100+ Pi Day Memes Here!

And lots of fun ways to connect with the kids on Pi Day!

Each March, math geeks and pie lovers converge to celebrate Pi Day!


Mathematically speaking, the date is chosen because Pi = 3.14+

As Unschoolers, I want to take a moment to show you how math really does weave through our lives. We just have to notice it!

So how would unschoolers celebrate Pi Day?

I'm so glad you asked!


Your Refresher Course about Pi 😉

Bake a Pie! 


Any kind of pie would be fun! Take a little bit of crust and add it to the top, showing the symbol Pi.


Hold a Pie Taste Test - what's everyone's favorite?

At precisely 3:14 PM, stop for some Pie!


Don't limit yourself to the most familiar pies - see if your grocery stores have mini-pies in other flavors.

Try a sampling.

Or Pizza Pies. Frito Pies. Oatmeal Creme Pies (cookies)!



How many families do you think will have PIZZA "Pie" for dinner on March 14th?

And Pie for dessert!

Grab a Book!

Or Watch it on Video...

Celebrate Einstein's Birthday!


It's Today!


If you need a little creative nudging, at Teachers Pay Teachers, there's a quick little booklet you could download to create an Einstein Pizza Party!

Write some Piku!

Yes! It's a real thing.  Similar to Haiku but easier!

First line - 3 syllables

Second line - 1 syllable

Third line - 4 syllables


It's Pi day.

Now.

Eat and Learn, Y'all!

Ok... fair warning.
I started this homeschooling journey in 1996 - way before memes were a thing. But even back then, we were celebrating Pi Day. Imagine my delight when memes came into existence. So... I have more than a couple to share with you! 🤣

So far, I'm up to 85 Pi Day Memes on this page! If you find more that are good - tag me!

Radical unschooling is often misunderstood as extreme, hands-off parenting or a rejection of learning altogether. In reality, radical unschooling is about going to the root of how children learn best — through connection, trust, and real life. It's not limited to academics - it's about ALL Learning. This post explains what radical unschooling actually means, what it doesn’t, and why it’s far more intentional than most people assume.

How do Unschooling moms make plans?
By Sue Patterson March 16, 2026
One of the questions unschooling parents ask all the time is: “But how do you plan anything?” Most of us were trained to believe planning means lesson plans, subjects, and assignments. So when you remove curriculum, it can feel like you’ve removed the roadmap too. But unschooling planning isn’t about deciding what your child must learn next. It’s about shaping a life where curiosity has room to grow.
