Help your students see math as playful and fun by introducing silly schoolwide math contests that appeal to children's senses of drama and whimsy. Have children create math jokes, math poems, and math comic strips; help them put on math-related skits and perform math cheers. Prizes may even be awarded. Be there or be a right-angled rhombus.
