For a number of years now, Mr J and Mr Rotherham have had a constant argument about which subject is better: Maths or English.

Despite his very best attempts, Mr R is yet to convince anyone that English is anywhere close to competing with Maths. Simply put: Maths is life.

To prove my point, here are a few of my favourite (and possibly slightly awkward) maths jokes… Mr J would love to hear which one was your favourite, or even better, if you have any jokes about Maths or English of your own.

What do you call a number that can’t stay in one place?

A Roamin’ numeral.

What do you call the number 7 and the number 3 when they go out on a date?

The odd couple.

How do you stay warm in any room?

Just huddle in the corner, where it’s always 90 degrees.

There are three kinds of people in the world:

Those who can count and those who can’t.

How can you tell a maths plant apart from other plants?

Because it has square roots.

Why should you never trust a teacher with graph paper in their hand?

They must be plotting something.

And save the best till last…

Mr J would love the hear your thoughts about which is your favourite joke, why maths is obviously the superior subject, or any school related jokes that you might know. Email – max.jones9@taw.org.uk

Take Care,

Mr J
