The other day my students were talking about Pi Day in Pre-Calculus. (That's March 14th for those non-mathy readers). I am thinking of doing Pi Chart Day where the students have to gather some categorical data and display it as a Pi Chart in the food medium of their choice (cake, pie, pizza, cookie cake, etc). Has anyone tried this? It would be a class competition with bonus points going to the top entries..
On a separate note, I don't know how many of you read the comments, but a recent comment pointed me to statpics.com which has some interesting pictures and commentary of statistics in the real world. I liked the normal distribution model from the dining booth myself :)
