How is Pi calculated?

645 views

Ok, pi is probably a bit over the head of your average 5 year old. I know the definition of pi is circumference / diameter, but is that really how we get all the digits of pi? We just get a circle, measure it and calculate? Or is there some other formula or something that we use to calculate the however many known digits of pi there are?

Pi is the ratio of circumference to diameter. I have my students measure these and divide to find the value of pi.
