Pi Day Carols

Pi Day is a major holiday (at least in math class!), and what’s a festive occasion without its very own carols?

The following are TeachPi.org originals, though we know there are many more great tunes floating around the Web, ripe for the singing!

Like these ones?  Download our Pi Day Carols Handout for your class.
  • Oh, Number Pi (to the tune of ‘O, Christmas Tree’)

    1. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    You’re truly transcendental.

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    You’re physical and mental.

    You stretch the bounds…of all we know,

    And tell our circles where to go

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    Your digits are so gentle.

    2. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    Why can’t I learn you faster?

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    You’re really hard to master.

    Just when I think…I’ve got you down

    I flip a 6 and 5 around

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    Numerical disaster!

    3. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    Why are you so specific?

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    Your digit growth’s terrific.

    Ten years ago, you had a Mill

    And now you’re at a couple Trill

    Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi

    You stretch to the Pacific!

  • Ludolph the Mathematician (to the tune of ‘Rudolph’)

    We know Einstein and Euclid and Sir Isaac Newton

    Lifelong devotions there ain’t no disputin’

    But do you recall…

    The most tireless one of them all?

    Ludolph the Mathematician

    Had a special thing for Pi

    He made it his life’s mission

    To help the number specify

    All of his fellow teachers

    Never understood his plan

    To unlock the number’s magic

    By calculating it by hand!

    Then in 1599,

    Ludolph set his goal…

    I’ll find digit 35

    With geometry as my guide!

    Then how the math world loved him

    All his hard work helped them see

    Ludolph the Mathematician

    You’ll go down in history!

    (Learn more about Ludolph van Ceulen here.)

  • Pi Day Time (to the tune of ‘Silver Bells’)

    (starting at ‘City sidewalks…’)

    Random digits,

    Endless digits

    Transcendental in style,

    In the air there’s a feeling of Pi Day.

    Children laughing,

    People graphing,

    Worry-free for a while,

    And in every math classroom you’ll hear…

    Three one four…

    One five nine…

    It’s Pi Day Time at [our school!].

    Three one four…

    One five nine…

    Savor those numbers, today!

  • Ring the Bells (to the tune of ‘Jingle Bells’)

    Basking in the glow

    Of a Math Class holiday.

    All we need to know

    Is “Pi will lead the way!”

    To circles we will sing,

    The digits we’ll recite

    The ratio gives us everything

    It’s geometry’s delight! Oh!

    Ring the bells, Pi Day spells

    Fun with 3 – 1 – 4!

    It’s the day to celebrate

    That number we adore! Oh!

    Ring the bells, Pi Day spells

    Fun with 3 – 1 – 4!

    First we take one slice of Pi

    And then we ask for more!
