We made pie on "Pi Day!"
"An old Chinese proverb says, 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.' In teaching children how to prosper in a mathematically literate society, classroom educators have become aware of a very valuable lesson: If we give students the answers, they will do well on a test; if we teach students to solve problems, they will succeed for a lifetime."
-- Gail Burrill, President, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM
