Pi

7.G.B.4

Definition

The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. π ≈ 3.14. It is an irrational number — it never terminates or repeats. Used in circle formulas.

Examples

  • π is the same for every circle, no matter the size.
  • π ≈ 3.14 for calculations, or 22/7 as a fraction approximation.

Key rule

π cannot be written as an exact fraction or decimal — we always use an approximation.

Memory hook

Same ratio, every circle, forever.
