Throwback Thursday<\/span>
\n. . . or . . .<\/span>
\nLaughter and Chuckles!

Why did the chicken cross the road? Error 404. Road can not be found.\"\"<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/b>ALMOST a … Dad Joke! Years ago, I once ‘collected’ cartoons from the comic section of newspapers or editorial pages, specifically looking for Math, Statistics or Numbers in general – for use as motivation in my classes! I probably still have them somewhere in ‘The Garage’ and will look for them one day and have a post dedicated to really old math cartoons!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Once, I included a funny math cartoon at the very END of a printed math test for my Grade 12 Math 31 (Advanced) class. This was during my Student Teaching year at U of Calgary.<\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to teach ‘Probability’ to my highly motivated International Baccalaureat program at the school I was assigned! Well, this threw them for a loop! “Is this a question?<\/strong><\/em>“, “Is this for marks?<\/strong><\/em>“, “How do I answer this question?<\/strong><\/em>” and ‘What is this for?<\/strong><\/em>”<\/p>\n

And to his  credit,  my Supporting Teacher let me do all kinds of crazy things in all my classes! This will be a theme for another OAC post one day!<\/p>\n

One small amazing Fun Fact: I ended up being paired with not one, but TWO of my OWN High School \"\"Math teachers from my high school years<\/strong><\/em><\/span> … just by chance! What are the odds on that !!! Well, that is what statistics are for! LOL!<\/p>\n

So, some Throwback Thursday<\/a><\/strong><\/span> humour and  random images, YouTube videos and cartoons to maybe provide a chuckle or two!<\/p>\n

\"\"And that is about it for today! A busy day with some meetings, documents and workshops at the speed of Self Pace too! I might throw new stuff in later! You just never know!   <\/p>\n
