How to Make Math Funny

     How can you use corny math jokes to make math class fun and interesting? You don’t have to recite math jokes all class to make it fun. Here are some creative ways to use math jokes for kids:

Math Joke of the Day

     Start math class by writing out part of a math joke on your board. Ask kids to try to think of the answer. Then, reveal the answer to your students when you start class!

Funny Math Puns

     Many numbers and math words have two meanings and can be used to make puns. For example “Why was six afraid of seven? Because 7,8,9.” The pun is on the word “eight”, which can also mean “ate”.

Tell a few puns to your students and invite them to think of their own puns using math words with double meanings such as:
     Four and for
     Two and to
     Eight and ate
     Nine and nein (the German word for “no”)
     Acute and cute
     Pi and pie
     Sign and sine
     Add and ad

Math Problem Jokes

     You can also use the best math jokes to motivate kids as they work through math problems. List the start of the joke on the worksheet. Then, to get the answer, students have to work through the problems.

     For example, make a worksheet in which the answers to the problems each represent a letter. Then, when they’ve finished all of the problems, they can either unscramble the letters or you can provide an answer key to help them.

Here’s one last math joke to keep things fun: When does 10 + 7 equal 13? When you add wrong!
