Laffy Taffy Math-Y Valentines
If you lot haven't noticed lately, my blogging has been a flake sparse. Blogging has taken a flake of a backseat to life lately. But, I mean value that's how it's supposed to be. Today was a kind-of snowfall day. We had school, simply the bulk of students left early. This led to my primary letting me run out early on in addition to thence I could larn inwards domicile safely. I decided I should purpose a lilliputian of my extra fourth dimension to endeavour in addition to write upwardly a few weblog posts.
During my commencement twelvemonth of teaching, I started a tradition of giving math-y valentines to my students. That commencement year, I had students mucilage 2 mobius strips together inwards such a agency that when cut, they made interlinking hearts. Last year, they got pixie sticks in addition to a cute card nigh parallel lines having the saddest dearest story.
This year, I knew I wanted to create something involving candy. A few days earlier Valentine's Day, I ventured to Wal-Mart in addition to proceeded to walk upwardly in addition to downward in addition to upwardly in addition to downward the candy aisle spell looking for inspiration. I was looking for whatsoever sort of candy that I could base of operations a valentine off of. I'm pretty certain unopen to of the customers were giving me weird looks. Oh well...
Since V-Day was on a Saturday, my celebration alongside my students would hold upwardly falling on the Fri before. Friday inwards my classroom is Fri Funnies. So, I decided Laffy Taffy would hold upwardly skillful because I wouldn't conduct maintain to come upwardly up alongside jokes to say my students since in that place are 2 jokes on each wrapper. I persuasion I would brand a carte that said, "Valentine, I'm in addition to thence glad that your dearest of math is no joke."

So, on her advice, I changed the carte to read "Love of math is no "laffing" matter." I knew my students would groan when they saw this, simply that's actually the betoken anyway, right?
One of my pupil aides got the project of cutting the cards on the newspaper chopper in addition to taping the candy to the dorsum of them.
