Find positions, odd runs and double digits in a grid of the first 100 digits of pi. The directions on the page read: To find a position, add the row number and the column number. A run is a group of odd digits side by side. A double is two matching digits side by side. An answer key is included.
Can I use this exploring pi worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade number theory, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
