We ♥ jokes in our house, especially ones that sneak in some STEM learning love! The punnier the better. We tell knock knock jokes around the dinner table. My youngest likes to read joke books before going to bed. Sometimes I pop an educational joke into their school lunchbox. We tell riddles on long car trips. You get the idea…
You might have already seen our awesome list of 60+ science jokes, but I was starting to feel that the other STEM subjects deserved some punny love too! This may have resulted in my spending the last few hours giggling researching and collating 45 of the funniest kid-friendly math jokes around.
So, if you’re looking for math jokes that will make your kids smile, giggle, snort and LOL, you’ve come to the right place! Here we have a whole bunch of kid-friendly math jokes and puns, that are perfect for primary / elementary school aged kids. The best bit is that most of these jokes require some understanding of math principles, so if your kids ‘get’ the jokes, then they are demonstrating and cementing their math knowledge, and if they need some of the jokes to be explained to them, then you can help them learn new concepts in a fun way.
If you’re a parent, you might like to print these out and pop them in their school lunchboxes, or maybe read a couple out before dinner each night. If you’re a teacher, I reckon they’d make great ice-breakers for the start of math class or in between activities. (There’s a link to a printable version below.)
