Brain-unfriendly math questions that leverage on the wealth of South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, whom mainland Chinese worship as “King of Mars” or “Rocket Man” for building flying cars and colonising the cosmos—they view Mr. Musk as a coldblooded god, compared to Jack Ma, whom they call a “performing monkey.”
Two Musk Math questions are:
a) Guesstimate how many face masks China could produce from billionaire Musk’s obscene wealth.
b) If Mr. Musk spent ten thousand dollars every day, would he have enough money left by the time he experienced his last heartbeat?

When sharing useful, light-hearted, or creative math stuff to fellow math educators around the globe gives them an opportunity to know you and to recommend you to interested parties that might need someone with your expertise to meet their mathematical needs or wants.
In addition to performance currency (when you deliver upon a product above people’s expectations) and relationship currency (when you take the time to connect, engage, and get to know people in your milieu), you need math currency to make yourself an odd in a sea of evens.

Basically, you are the biggest dumbass in high school if you are sitting in this class. You have never passed the TAKS test and are a fucking disgrace.
Man that Matt is a dumbass. He's in math models this year. should've seen it coming.

A set of WWII Swiss surplus glass tanker goggles that were recently discovered to increase comprehension of any type of math if worn during class.
I really couldn't comprehend logarhythms, so I borrowed Andrew's math goggles.

When math educators or publishers turn things around, from being a prey to a predator, by outwitting their competitors, because they know what they have to do to be better than them.
To stand out from the crowd, Jeff embraces the predatory math mindset to outsmart the competition, which were left licking their wounds.

When the world’s most disliked school subject is not a spectator but a player sport; when you need to do math rather than just read about it—the very reason why pop or general math books seldom help raise the mathematical or quantitative literacy of their armchair readers.
Recreationally speaking, math is a noun, but painfully or cognitively speaking, math is a verb—reading and understanding a math proof is one thing; guessing and checking and failing repeatedly and finally proving or solving a math problem is the actual thing.

The slogan by math educators for their pseudoscientific or conspiracist audience, who argue that mask wearing or social distancing is ineffective in protecting them and others, especially for those who now have a certain degree of immunity after recovering from Covid-19.
Pastors tell their congregations: “no mask, no mass”; principals tell their classes: “no mask, no math.”
