A Radian of Pie

Sanja Avramovic and Renee Oddy

This fall, Sanja Avramovic and Renee Oddy were enrolled in a Pure Math 30 class at Central Memorial High School, in Calgary. Their teacher, Gerald Krabbe, introduced the radian measure and definition in class and challenged his students to “make sure you get your radian-sized piece of pumpkin pie at the Thanksgiving table!” They did just that.
