Generating Engaging Learning Activities with ChatGPT

I often speak about what I call “the other AI,” Intelligent Automation, or IA. Intelligent automation is simply the most common and practical way to use AI in daily life and work – by automating some of our daily tasks. Recently, in honor of Pi Day, I decided to ask my new assistant, ChatGPT, to generate some ideas for teachers to promote the study of mathematics and celebrate Pi Day. Here’s what I got. Maybe there’s something there that works for you:

Pi Day Challenge: Organize a Pi Day challenge for your students to see who can memorize the most digits of Pi. Alternatively, you can challenge students to recite as many digits of Pi as they can in a set amount of time. You can also create a fun quiz or trivia game related to Pi and its applications in math and science.

Pi Art: Encourage students to create art inspired by the number Pi. This could include creating a Pi-themed poster or mural using different colors and patterns to represent the digits of Pi.

Pi Day Bake-Off: Host a Pi Day bake-off, where students can bake and decorate pies. You can encourage students to be creative with their pies, making them in the shape of the Pi symbol or using different ingredients to represent the digits of Pi.

Pi Activities: There are many fun Pi-themed activities that you can organize for your students, such as measuring the circumference and diameter of different circular objects in the classroom or around the school, and calculating Pi based on the measurements.

Pi Videos and Resources: Share Pi-related videos and resources with your students, such as TED talks, animations, and online resources like the Pi Day website. You can also encourage students to research the history and significance of Pi and present their findings to the class.
