Do you DREAD teaching math? I LOVE it! One of my
favorite math jokes is super punny, and my father used to tell me it all the
time when I was a little girl. (He always told great jokes..... hi
dad! You're still the funniest dad in the world!!!!)
Q: How far can a dog run into a forest?
A: Half-way! Because once
it reaches the half-way point it starts running out!!!
Now I use this joke EVERY
SINGLE YEAR at the start of my fraction unit. I have used it in all upper
elementary classes.... every single year since I started teaching. Think
about it! That's 20+ years of students giggling during math class.
I interject jokes as often as possible. It has helped to change the
mindset of many students. Today I would like to share with you a few of
my favorites.
