Fun With Algebra
Math and algebra can be tons of fun. At least for some people.
Our friend and artist Debbie Adams painted a picture of Fraz posing with the snowman he just built. The original painting can be seen on Debbie’s Snow Day and Fraz post on her art blog.

I like how Happy Face + Sad Face = Happy Face. Happiness cancels out sadness. Webcomics bring happiness. Read webcomics & you won’t be sad. What a great lesson for the day Binky
Thank you, Tony. I like to try to spread the joy of math and webcomics.
Well done Tony, you got the 1st Prize
Chocolate Trophy for getting here quicker
than everyone else 🙂 I hope that you
are sharing it with us, or more importantly,
sharing it with me 🙂 lol
Perhaps Tony could use his trophy as an incentive to help inspire algebra students.
What??? Give away my chocolate to Math Nerds??? No way!!!
Yeah give me your chocolate and I’ll never do math again!
That sounds like a good….
Errr…
NO Fraz!!!
I’ll give you lots of happy faces!
NO IT ISN’T
It is if you have the right teacher. Lessons begin tomorrow morning.
Okay, so we know that Binky likes Algebra but does Peter?
Of course. I thought calculus was fun. Not to many shared my opinion.
So does Binky best represent you out of all the wombies?
I was not a fan of Algebra. I dropped out after 5 weeks.
Algebra was fun as well. The only one I didn’t like very much was probability.
All of them are parts of me. I’m probably more like Winky.
You mean like eating all
the chocolate and wine gums? 🙂
That, and the fact that we are not nearly as smart as we think we are.
I should have tried that during my finals.
I think it would have been effective.
Perhaps Binky could send those happy faces to the Geometry class down the hall
Certainly. Geometry should be a happy class as well.
Just look at him and smile, Fraz…that’s all you got to do.
Yeah. Smile and run away fast!
Run to me, and we’ll go to the beach and wind surf!
Now that’s happy!
Yes, and we have cool chocolate refreshments… so much better than algebra
I bet even Binky would say it’s more fun than algebra!
I bet he would too!
We should have a big beach fire tonight and make some Smores!
Your on!…I’ll bring the fixings for them.
That was fun! We should do it again tonight!
We can do that….the weather is beautiful!
Yay! And we can go treasure hunting on the beach first!
Thank you for posting my painting, Peter!
You’re welcome, Deb. It certainly took me long enough to post it.
That’s quite alright….thank you again. 🙂
🙂
It’s a fantastic painting Deb 🙂 xxx
Thank you, Andro! 🙂 xx
Algebra would have been fun if they would stop throwing all that basic math into it!
Perhaps I could teach you a refresher course.
It would be great without all the sums 🙂
But finding the solution is the fun part!
This is a great painting
by our awesome friend
Deb 🙂 I like it a lot
Well painted Deb and I hope
that your Monday is going really
nicely 🙂
Yes, Deb’s painting is very nice. I’m glad winter is over, however.
It wasn’t one of my fun experiences!
Perhaps your teacher failed to use enough happy faces.
Hubby still does Algebra and Calculus for fun. He was doing Algebra on Saturday. He says it’s good for his brain.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
I agree, it is good for your brain. Perhaps one day your husband and I could do some calculations together for fun.
I used to love Algebra in h.s. but it’s been a few years since I’ve dabbled in it. 🙂 I’m returning to college in the fall and will eventually have to take math again so Binky, wish me luck! 🙂
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed algebra in school. Good luck in your college courses! And have fun.
That’s one way to kill happy faces for the next generation.
That’s for sure!
I had a tough time understanding algebra. I’m just not into letters and numbers.
Maybe I’ll give it another go once all the kids are grown up.
I’d be willing to tutor you any time. Algebra is fun!
Happy faces are circular because they eat pi.
They are! And if they calculate it, they would be even happier.
You have to admit, the smiley faces do make it more appealing!
I still didn’t think it was fun!
I’m with you Fraz! But happy faces are fun… so there’s that.
Nice art Deb!!
Happy faces are a lot more fun when they aren’t in equations!
Algebra is fun.
Calculus..not so much
I found both of them fun, actually. Though I doubt I could remember much of either of them now.
It is a new way to see this matter. It is interesting as well. http://www.bellofpeace.org
Binky often sees things differently.
We have fun with Algebra. If it’s not fun, they have the wrong teacher. 🙂
That is exactly what I say. Maybe I need to try harder to make it more fun.
Math is the breakfast of Champions – guess that’s why I never eat breakfast! W.C.C.
I like chocolate Coco Puffs for breakfast! There’s no algebra in there!
I got a lot of frowny faces and “see me after class” on my algebra assignments.
So did I!
Well I have Algebraphobia 🙂
I think I have Algebraphobia too!
Algebra is not fun! Chemistry is fun 😉
Chemistry s fun when you get to make explosions!
Math is fun 🙂 Fraz, would you like it better if I could show you how algebra could help you figure out how to get more toys and chocolate?
Sure! That sounds like fun!
