When the value of the mathematical pi is exactly three, which can be inferred from two verses in the Bible (1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2)—the “biblical pi” contradicts the mathematicians’ value, which is about 3.14 or 22/7.
How does one reconcile the value of pi in the sky with the irrational value of pi on earth? Could theologians or theomaticians explain the missing “0.14” bit to the mathematical brethren?

You may be financially naked, educationally unqualified, and not connected to people of influence, yet if you've faith in the power of the presence of God in your life, you can expect your nothings to turn into somethings—who you have, not what you have is what matters.

Get the Who you have, not what you have mug.Also known as “Singapore model method,” “bar model method,” or “bar modeling.” A problem-solving visualization strategy whereby the problem solver makes use of rectangles or bars to draw a model diagram to represent how the known and unknown quantities in a given problem situation are related, using a part-whole or comparison model.
Using the model method to solve a word problem involving fraction, ratio, or percentage allows the mind’s eye to better grasp the problem situation by making tacit knowledge more explicit or visible—it’s like a “look-see” proof to a problem for kids.

Get the The Model Method mug.A nickname given to a math teacher who always reminds his students not to assume that an angle in a geometric figure is ninety degrees, although it may deceptively look like it is a right angle.
Students of Mr. Wright call him “Mr. Right Wright” or “Mr. Right Squared,” because he won’t give them any marks if they assume without proof that a triangle is a right triangle.
