Geometric Genius: The day a student threw me off guard with a Math joke worthy of a 10/10!

Date: Tuesday 23rd Jan 2024

Time: 5pm (UK time)

Student: xxxxx xxxxxxx

Session Notes:

Student: Miss, guess what I had a Maths injury in school today

Irfana Saeed Qureshi: Oh no what happened

Student: Miss I sprained my angle! Yeah man, I asked the school nurse if I should go to the hospital but she said I didn’t have to because it was obtusely not an acute injury…  

Irfana Saeed Qureshi: lol xxxxxx if ever Guz Khan calls me up asking if I know anyone able to step in on one of his gigs as a warm up act I now know who to recommend.  


Maths can be an incredibly intense and overwhelming subject for many students so I make a conscious effort to introduce an element of light relief to my lessons by introducing puzzles, riddles and jokes as part of the learning experience. But yesterday one of my more serious and tense students surprised me with a cheesy math joke that was Christmas cracker worthy! It’s these small wins and not just the big “Miss I got an A” moments that make my work as a tutor all the more special .
