To celebrate March 14th, also known as Pi Day, Penn-Trafford High School geometry teacher Miss Taylor Berardi challenged her students to create Pi-ku poems. Similar to haiku, Pi-ku poems follow a structured syllabic pattern based on the first six digits of Pi: 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, and 9. Each poem consists of six lines, with the number of syllables in each line corresponding to these digits.
