Math Humor for the Good of Humanity

Well, that might be overstating my point, but
I taught math to sixth graders. Trust me when I say it helps to foster a sense of humor.

And sometimes a joke will spark an understanding, an aha! moment,

not to mention a shared experience. Never underestimate the power of shared laughter as a teaching tool,

because some students latch on to the offbeat as a way to store information that otherwise would pass right over their heads.

I could have used you in sixth grade. I have math phobia to this day.

  You’d be surprised by the number of math teachers in elem. school who have math phobia.
