The Misadventures of a Curious Cat

Let's have some fun with numbers today
And explore how they work in their own way
We'll start with calculating things so neat
And find out what we can discover and meet

First up is a number that's really cool
It's called pi, and it's not just for school
It's a ratio that goes on and on forever
And its digits don't repeat, never, ever!

To find the circumference of a circle, you see
You must multiply pi by the diameter, that's the key
But that's not all, we can also find the volume
Of a sphere, by using pi, it's not a conundrum

The diameter is the distance across a circle
And to find it, we need to use a little tickle
Divide the circumference by pi, that's the trick
And the diameter will come up really quick

Now let's talk about a word that's quite random
It means something that's not planned or tandem
But with numbers, we can make it less scary
By using them to create something quite contrary

So, let's use these words to learn something new
And calculate, divide, and measure all through
The volume and circumference, diameter and digit
We can use them all, and they'll surely merit!

Reflections

  1. What kind of trouble did the curious cat get into, and how did it manage to get out of it?
  2. How did the cat's curiosity help it learn and discover new things, even though it sometimes got into trouble?
  3. What do you think the cat could have done differently to avoid some of the mishaps it encountered while exploring?
  4. How do you think the other animals in the story felt about the cat's behavior, and why?
  5. What lessons can we learn from the cat's experiences, and how can we apply them to our own lives?
