On Tuesday, September 16, 2025, math students across the county celebrated two unique numerical phenomena that highlight the beauty of mathematics: Pythagorean Triple Day and Perfect Square Day. The date itself (9/16/25) is special because it represents perfect squares and corresponds to the classic Pythagorean triple (3, 4, 5). Students marked the occasion by exploring the Pythagorean Theorem, solving challenging puzzles, and enjoying square-shaped treats.
