Math Haiku
There are many reasons I personally love to write, and as a math teacher, I love getting my students writing about math.
One easy way to do this is to have students write math-themed haiku. It’s a simple exercise, it gets students thinking about math in a different way, and the elegance and efficiency of the style is reminiscent of mathematics itself!
So enjoy some math-themed haiku from my Calculus students.
| Solving math problems
Getting lost along the way. You’re on the right track. |
Mathematicians
Must always seek out patterns To make connections. |
| Limit of a curve.
Tangent at infinity. Straight line asymptote. |
Triangles are shapes
They have sharp, pointy edges Don’t let them poke you. |
Got a good math haiku? Let’s hear it!

Counterproductive Deceptive Advertising
As someone who is both quantitative and skeptical by nature, I always head straight for the fine print of a deal: that’s usually where you discover that it’s not as great as advertised.
Which makes the fine print here all the more confusing. I saw “You Pay 2 $3” in big font and thought to myself “Ok, I’m getting two green peppers for three dollars”.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the price was actually two pounds of green peppers for three dollars. At around half-a-pound each, this means you really get about 4 green peppers for $3. Isn’t that what you want to advertise?
I wonder how many people picked up a green pepper, thought “$1.50 is too much!” and put it down.
