18+ Funny Math Jokes for Middle Schoolers
Looking for some funny math jokes for your middle school classroom? These silly and hilarious jokes, whether funny or not, are sure to at least make your math students chuckle. In the math classroom, starting a math Joke of the Week routine is a fun way to add some excitement and humor to your class. Post a new math joke each week and let students have fun trying to guess the answer! The idea is similar to my Challenge of the Week routine (don’t miss the free sets of problems for 6th-8th grade). You can even add prizes for correct guesses to the jokes if you want!
Also, don’t forget if you are interested in engaging and reaching all of your students by getting math centers going in the middle school classroom, you can now sign up for my Making Math Workshop Work online, self-paced course. This blog post has all of the math workshop course details!
As I always tell students, my math jokes may not be funny, but I’ll always have one for them. 😂
