How it relates to a mathematical concept:

My pie relates to a mathematical concept because the pie has three flavors, and the apple pie has three slices, the bell pepper and onion pie has one slice, and the samosa pie has four slices. Three plus one plus four equals eight slices, which makes up a whole pie, and three, one, and four are also the first three digits of Pi.

 

Congratulations to our winners! They will each receive a copy of Katie Coppen’s books Geometry is as Easy as Pie and Geology is a Piece of Cake!
