Using the tear strips from yesterday's measurement activity, students folded the circumference strips into smaller portions which represented the length of the object's diameter. After a while, most students discovered that the circumference strip was 3 diameters and a little bit more (or, in mathematical terms, 3.14). This is the relationship that we recognize as pi, and was also the slope of the best fit line students drew on their scatterplots showing how circumference is a function of the diameter.
