Math jokes are the best, and really work on inferencing skills. When I teach math, I am going to build a huge collection of math jokes and try to use one everyday (or as much as humanly possible). A colleague sent me this and it's great!
Here is another joke about salaries. I took it actually from the Nipissing University site: http://calculus.nipissingu.ca/jokes.html
Salary Theorem: The less you know, the more you make. Proof: Fact #1: Knowledge is Power Fact #2: Time is Money We know that: Power = Work / Time And since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money It is therefore true that Knowledge = Work / Money Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of Work done
Great idea, especially if you can gather enough jokes that satisfy a level that is being taught. Gets the students mind set right from the beginning as they are ready and eager. This is one for the younger grades, and its an oldie, but goodie as they say. Why was 10 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9 (7 Ate 9)
