International Day of Mathematics - March 14 2024
International Day of Mathematics - March 14 2024
A worldwide celebration of Mathematics on March 14 of every year.
Although German institutions seem to support this event, there is no German material available - at least as far as I could find!
The International Day of Mathematics (IDM) is a worldwide celebration. Each year on March 14 all countries will be invited to participate through activities for both students and the general public in schools, museums, libraries and other spaces.
The theme for 2024
Every year we announce a theme to flavor the celebration, spark creativity and bring light to connections between mathematics and all sorts of fields, concepts and ideas.
In 2024 we want to celebrate mathematical games, puzzles and other entertaining activities, but also "playing" with mathematics itself, exploring, experimenting, and discovering.
Play with the theme!
In some languages the verb play means other things, like "performing" and instrument, or "acting" in a theater.
What other ideas does the theme bring to people's minds in your language? You should consider them when planning activities for your celebration.
It's called Pi day...
Indeed, and UNESCO has introduced the "International Day of Mathematics" in 2019 on Pi day 🤓
Wikipedia, super-short article:
UNESCO's 40th General Conference decided Pi Day as the International Day of Mathematics in November 2019.
Forget pi day, commemorate tau day! 6/28 in american date format.
