Late last month, I talked about Math Joke Monday and how it got me through remote teaching during a pandemic. Math is my jam, but for a lot of students, it’s hell on earth. My philosophy is you can’t teach them if you don’t reach them! I choose to value relationships over everything. These math jokes certainly help ease the tension.
Without further adieu…
