  1. The problem with math puns is that calculus jokes are all derivative, trigonometry jokes are too graphic, algebra jokes are usually formulaic, and arithmetic jokes are pretty basic. But I guess the occasional statistics joke is an outlier.

  2. I’m going to admit, I cheated and googled math jokes because I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head. Which is disappointing because I’m a high school math teacher, however, the one I’m sharing here is one that I will be sharing with my colleagues. Pure math gold!

    The joke:

    Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar.

    The first says, “I’ll have a beer.” The second says, “I’ll have half a beer.” The third says, “I’ll have a quarter of a beer.” Before anyone else can speak, the barman fills up exactly two glasses of beer and serves them. “Come on, now,” he says to the group, “You guys have got to learn your limits.”

  3. Three statisticians go out hunting together. After a while they spot a solitary rabbit. The first statistician takes aim and overshoots. The second aims and undershoots. The third shouts out “We got him!”

  5. Here goes . . .

    The teacher asks little Johnny if he knows his numbers. “Yes,” he says. “My daddy taught me.” “Can you tell me what comes after three?” “Four,” answers little Johnny. “What comes after six?” “Seven,” answers little Johnny. “Very good,” says the teacher. “Your father did a very fine job. What comes after ten?” “A jack,” answers little Johnny.

  6. I had to look for some so here they are:
    •What do mathematicians eat on Halloween? Pumpkin Pi.
    •Why did the math book look so sad? Because it had so many problems.
    •A circle is just a round straight line with a hole in the middle.
    •Decimals have a point.
    •Why do plants hate math? Because it gives them square roots.
    •Why did the boy eat his math homework? Because the teacher told him it was a piece of cake.
    •Have you heard the latest statistics joke? Probably.
    •What did the acorn say when it grew up? Geometry.
    •What do you call an empty parrot cage? Polygon.
    •Cakes are round but Pi are square.
    •How can you make time fly? Throw a clock out the window!
    •Without geometry, life is pointless.

  7. So,”Y” equals ” R” cubed over three.
    And if you determine the rate of change in this curve correctly I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
    Don’t you get it, Bart? Derivative D-Y equals three R squared D R over three, or R squared D R, or R D R R.
    Har-dee-har-har.
