If something is called a theorem, it must be important. If a theorem is named, it must be very important. Is a theorem called fundamental becauese it’s fun, dumb, and mental? NO! It’s very *very* important!

How to read math. You’d be surprised how far this will get you.

EDIT: Some corrections

fun math humor:

try saying “csch” (abbreviation for “hyperbolic cosecant”) as its own word out loud

Proof that math can go viral

Assume that math can’t go viral.

Come on guys! Your job was to make this go viral so I could say "Proof by contradiction."

I'm never telling you a knock knock joke. You'll probably ruin that too.

if you say number loud enough its value increases

5 = 5

5! = 120

Pyramids in Prism

My students were wondering about why the volume of a cone/pyramid is 1/3 the volume of its associated cylinder/prism, so I made this. (On GeoGebraTube.)

This shows if they are related by any constant, it will be true for all three so that the constant must be 1/3. If the pyramids are of equal volume (which is true) then each is 1/3 the prism. In the case of the cube they are congruent. But what is an intuitive argument that they must have equal volume. Do you know one?
