Sofia Manara of the Canadian School of Milan was also highly commended with an electronic music track created ‘using the software Soundtrap by plugging the first 100 digits of π into a synthesiser and into a drum machine’. youtu.be/eRHjBmJYaEQ
And next we have Harris Taylor of South Craven School with a song (video below) he wrote and performed (on three instruments and vocals): youtu.be/DcVts0R6suY
And from the same school here is a video representing Pi by Daniel Hardy youtu.be/-n8tjD85AxQ
And now for the 'highly commended', in alphabetical order. We start with Bea Harrison of @ColytonGrammar with this epic pi skyline!
In third place was this 3.14 mile long Pi shaped run tracked on a running app, by Grace Eminson of Saint Cecilia's Church of England School.
In second place was this insPired piece of music written by Ingrid Linn of The Rochester Grammar School: youtu.be/e1qabTZfIIE
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be tweeting the top entries to the Pi representation competition (see think-maths.co.uk/pi-results). We start today with the winning entry - this fabulous rap about Pi by Angela Ning of Cheltenham Ladies College: youtu.be/gQ8xLOMbJrk

This @numberphile video is really interesting! Explore the least number of cuts needed to split a stolen necklace so that n thieves each get the same number of each type of jewel. youtube.com/watch?v=rwiEiGqg…
In this video @standupmaths watches the solar eclipse in Argentina! And does some maths. Matt shows how a method for finding rational approximations of π can also be used to predict when eclipses will occur. youtube.com/watch?v=h9FZgaPd…
