When it's your turn, you roll all six dice at the same time. Alternatively, you could print them two to a page for slightly smaller squares.Each player takes turns rolling the dice. The puzzle pieces print on letter sized paper and will be 7.5 inch squares. I created a jumbo downloadable version of the pi puzzle that would be perfect for putting magnets on the back (I recommend these ceramic disc magnets from Amazon!) or for putting out on a table for a group to work on. They wanted to use it as a magnetic puzzle. When I shared this puzzle on Instagram, someone commented to ask if I had created jumbo puzzle pieces for it. I have still included the file for this puzzle instruction poster at the bottom of this post, though. Originally, I planned to hang up a poster with the puzzle’s instructions next to the magnetic pocket, but the copy machine at school died today before I was able to get it printed. I’ve also posted the Pi Day Pentominoes Puzzle, the Square Pi Puzzle, and a yet-to-be-shared Pi Day Number Challenge for students to tackle. I posted a copy of the puzzle instructions to hopefully catch the eye of my students when they come in my classroom tomorrow. Then, I put the bags of puzzle pieces in one of my handy dandy magnetic pockets. I put the instructions up with magnetic clips. I highly recommend splurging a bit on the actual laminator and buying the cheapest laminating pouches you can find! I currently use a Scotch laminator at home and a Swingline laminator at school. I’ve had several laminators over the years.
I don’t know what I would do without my laminator!Ī laminator is a MUST-HAVE for me as a math teacher! I spent my first six years as a teacher at a school with a broken laminator, so I had to find a way to laminate things myself. I am posting my pi puzzle on the dry erase board for students to work on during extra class time, so I decided to print and laminate 5 different sets for students to grab and take back to their tables. If you would like each student to have their own copy of the pi puzzle, you could print a copy for each student and have them cut out their own set of puzzle pieces. Prepping the ActivityĪs I mentioned earlier, the puzzle pieces have been pre-scrambled. Students should be able to solve the puzzle in a few minutes.
This Pi Puzzle is much easier than the Valentine’s Day puzzle because the images have been placed at different angles along the edges. Previously, I created a similar Valentine’s Day square edge matching puzzle with a fun math theme. The goal of these puzzles is to assemble the pieces in a 3×3 square by correctly matching the edges of each puzzle piece. This pi day puzzle was inspired by the classic 9-piece scramble squares puzzles which can be purchased with different themes. The puzzle grid is already pre-scrambled, so you can give the puzzle to students to cut apart if you wish.
InstructionsĬut apart the provided nine pieces and assemble them into a 3×3 grid so that the puzzle pieces match along each edge. My school is on Spring Break when Pi Day occurs, so I am making sure to fit in all my fun Pi Day activities this week. The puzzle pieces include images of both pi symbols and slices of pie for some Pi Day fun! This pi puzzle is the perfect quick activity to add to any Pi Day Celebration to instantly make it more fun and festive! Can you arrange the 9 squares into a 3×3 grid so that the puzzle pieces match along each edge? As an Amazon Associate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
