Over the last year, Monday mornings and math classes were so calculated I started to loathe them both. I found myself stuck in a rut, going through the motions of life without really living or looking forward to the moment. Teaching is not for the faint of heart. Remote teaching during a pandemic? HA! Forget that noise. I needed a whole lot of motivation to get going each day.
As a Christian woman of faith, I often turn to the Bible for comfort. Low and behold, I found what I was looking for in Proverbs 15:15 – He that is of a merry heart has a continual feast. Yes! A merry heart. That’s what I needed. How could I bring joy and cheer to a dreadful year, not only for myself but my students and colleagues? I present Math Joke Monday!
A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.

Every Monday, I would post a silly saying, putting dad jokes to shame. Everyone loved them! I’ll never forget the one Monday we were off from school and I didn’t post a joke to my teachergram. I had some friends all up in my DMs wondering what happened. Ooops! People really looked forward to starting their week off with these. I hope the jokes below put a smile on your face as you prepare for back to school!
Without further adieu…
