Pi Day is coming up on March 14 (3/14), and if you’re looking for a fun, hands-on Pi Day activity that will keep 5th-7th grade students engaged, you’re in the right place! Instead of just talking about Pi (π ≈ 3.14), let’s experience it with a creative and interactive Pi Day Cube!

What Is the Pi Day Activity Cube?

The Pi Day Cube is a printable, hands-on math station activity. Students will rotate through six interactive Pi-themed challenges. Each station brings Pi to life with word puzzles, creative math art, real-world connections, and number patterns.

Perfect for:
✔️ 5th-7th grade math teachers looking for a no-prep Pi Day activity
✔️ Students new to Pi who need an engaging introduction
✔️ Math centers, small groups, or classroom stations
✔️ Teachers who want an activity that’s both fun AND standards-aligned

Pi Day Cube

The Pi Day Cube is a no-prep classroom activity where students rotate through six stations, each focusing on a different aspect of Pi and circles. From word puzzles and art challenges to real-world measurements and number patterns, this activity keeps students engaged! Important math concepts like circumference, diameter, and irrational numbers are also introduced. Additionally, students will solve a Pi word search, uncover hidden images with Pi-related questions, create a Pi skyline, determine fact vs. fiction about Pi, calculate circle measurements using donuts, and complete a Pi spiral coloring challenge to visualize Pi’s never-ending digits.

Classroom Tips for Using the Pi Day Activity Cube
