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?

One way to do it – Draw a circle in a square. Start throwing darts at the square. Count how many darts land in the circle and divide that by the number of darts that land in the square. That number is going to be approximate pi/4. Then as you throw more darts that approximation will get closer
