Pi jokes are used to celebrate Pi Day, and teach students about the mathematical constant, Pi (which is the ratio of a diameter to a circumference of a circle).
Pi Day is celebrated March 14 because the first three digits of Pi are 3.14. On March 11, 2009, the House of Representatives passed a resolution making March 14 officially National Pi Day.
