Math Humor!

A classic I love and that never gets old!!!
 As a dancer I think that this is cute. The little arms are the graphs of the given values.

We learned how to find the volume or a cylinder this year: V=πr2h. 
Now I really don't know it that is true....

Reducing the given statement, you get six! But n can't equal 0!

Since we learned about roots of numbers, here is the root of evil.

Yeah!!!!

The proper way to use math!!!!!!

The best of math jokes: apple pi.

Never miss an opportunity to practice your trigonometry!
Never miss an opportunity for practice...when you have a little extra time....

Oregon
I don't think that a mathematician named this state.

 
Now I know!!!!!


The final one:
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I just thought that it was cute.

Goldwin and snow

I didn't know what else to write about so I am writing about my dog and that rare thing called snow. Well...not really writing about it. I just have a bunch of cute pics. So yeah!!!!
This is my dog watching the snog flakes fall.
Sara painted the pic of Goldwin watching the snow.
When we put a reindeer antler headband on the dog. He doesn't like it and This is the only picture that he would sit still for.
He is skeptical of the snowball that Sara threw by him. (Maybe Sara herself)
I was tempting him with Food!!!
The first round of snow before Thanksgiving.
Idk. Just a random pic of Gold.
 I think he sees a bird.
Biscocitos. Because we had nothing better to do on Dec 23.
 This is my dream house. Actually it is a gingerbread house that we made last weekend.
 Just my house with snow and a blue sky.
 Our trashcan is the most accurate place to get snow measurements. No traffic of any sort.
 Our yard from the first snow.
  Our trees. Though they look like twigs if you ask me.
  Bipolar New Mexico weather.
 Christmas eve, before the luminarias.
 Another pic of the front of our house.
 See above caption.
  The century plant taken from my bedroom window. 
 My mom painted this for my dad's birthday or anniversary long ago.
This is my neighbor's adobe house with snow on it. It is so pretty.
