After a long search we couldn’t find a poem about the number “pi” in Bulgarian, 
but we learned a lot about the history of the number “pi”. We tried to compose a 
poem by ourselves, but we couldn’t. Then on the internet we found a quatrain about 
Archimedes in which the numbers of the letters in every word is a digit from the 
number “pi”. Here’s the translation:

He is a scientist and a great mathematician
For who we know – he has a brain
Astronomer, empiricist , “magician”
Figured out alone the number „pi” in Syracuse

March 2016: the learning meeting takes place in the French school and the math activity is a following of this collaborative activity online about the decimals of pi. Some students collaborative documentary videos have been selected below for the quality of their presentation espescially of this math task. They are posted at the end of this page.

Glorious Archimedes, ingenious artist, 

You who still loves the glory of Syracuse
