Math jokes for kids, parents and teachers are right here – these funny math jokes are great for school and anyone who enjoys mathematics.
You’ll find jokes about basic math, geometry, calculus, algebra and other subject areas relating to math. There are jokes that young kids will understand, as well as jokes that only those in high school may understand (they’re still kids!).
One of the fun things about math jokes is that it gives parents the chance to talk about a math topic! If they don’t get the joke about pi, then you can explain pi. If they have no idea what a polygon is, then you can show them.
The photo shown is of an abacus, which is an oblong frame with rows of wires or grooves along which beads are slid, used for calculating.
Math jokes are also a great way for teachers to lighten up the mood in the classroom, especially if students are getting frustrated.
