Pi Posters

A good approximation of π is 22/7. This equals 3.14286 and π equals 3.14159. Less than 1/10% difference! SO, if a pizza is 22 pepperoni’s around (see previous poster) it’s very close to 7 pepperoni’s across!

How does π relate to a “baker’s dozen”? It has to do with the way circular objects stack. Note that on a standard size baking sheet, the most efficient way to place the cookies is to intermingle the rows by offsetting them by 1/2 of a cookie. How many fit on the cookie sheet? A baker’s dozen, or 13 cookies.
