Geometry Puns, Jokes, Circle Puns and More.

Let's Get Started

Imagine if Pythagoras fell in love..

Difficult to imagine?

Well, mathematicians are human after all, and just because they are good at numbers does not mean they are without emotions. They feel the heat and the cold, they feel pain and joy (though perhaps not the same joy as finally cracking a tricky theorem).

In this blog, we will compile a list of geometry puns, including angle puns, circle puns, triangle puns, and square puns.

Geometry Puns

So, back to our imagination; If Pythagoras fell in love, what would his love letter to his lady love read like?

90 Degree Avenue
Hypotenuse Road
The United States of Triangles.

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house with a triangular garden, I saw you at your square window. Before I met you my heart was an equilateral triangle that treated everyone equally. But seeing you, I was thrown out of this spherical world with my eyes making a tangent to your eyes. 

Today, my love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me.

My love for you will always be more than the squares of my two passions- mathematics and geometry. Even if you were to add my two passions, each of them squared it would only equal the square of my love for you. In other words,  my love for you extends to infinity. 

Your ever-loving
Pythagoras

Well, one thing is for sure…..you’ll never forget the concepts mentioned in this letter! 

The point is don’t make Geometry a dreaded subject. Treat the subject like a friend. Play with it …create Geometry jokes for students, create Geometry puns and you’ll see that Geometry is so much human and so much of fun!

Angle Puns

Here are some angle puns.

No geometry pun list is complete without a dig at angles. Angles are the foundation of geometry, so this is one topic we certainly cannot treat as a joke. But what if a few puns actually help you understand them better?

1. If 90° says anything in an argument with the other angles, it is always correct.
   Because it is the only right angle.
2. What is the best angle to approach any problem?
   The try-angle!
3. What do you call an adorable angle?
   A-cute angle.
4. Why was the ratio of the side opposite an angle to the hypotenuse feeling sick?
   Because it had the sine flu.
5. I drew a 90° angle perfectly yesterday.
   Looks like I finally did something right.

   

6. Trying to teach him shapes, I asked my 2-year-old to pick out the three-sided shape with a 90-degree angle. He picked one...
   It was the right triangle.
7. Why couldn't the angle get a loan?
   Because its parents wouldn't co-sign.

Circle Puns

A lot of students find circles tough. However, a clever circle pun or two can definitely ease the tension. So, here are some circle puns.

1. Two squares and two circles.
   Two squares were in an argument, and two circles were in an argument. The squares argued over who was hotter, even though they were both 90 degrees. The two circles argued all the time, so their argument was pretty pointless.
2. Why does America keep going in circles?
   Because they're all about their rights.
3. Why is it called "the circle of life"?
   You can find happiness in every corner.

   

4. Never invite a circle to a party.
   They tend to make one-sided conversations.
5. A triangle says to a circle: "You're pointless."
   Then the circle says back: "That's how I roll."
6. Why did the man put his pennies in a circle?
   To make ends meet.
7. A circle is talking to a square.
   The circle says: "I only have one side."
   The square responds: "What's your point?"

   

8. Why did the circle feel so down?
   It thought its life was pointless.
9. I tried to draw a circle. After doing all my calculations, it would never come out right...
   Turns out, it was a rounding error.

Triangle Puns

Whoever thought that a three-sided shape could make Mathematics so challenging. Let’s see if some stories and geometry puns can make Triangle easier. 

Triangle puns story:

Once upon a time in a faraway land...

There is a triangular lake, with three kingdoms, one on each side of the triangle.

The first kingdom is very rich, and its people are content. It has a very competent army, with a squire for every knight, and a total of twenty thousand knights. There is no hunger in the land.

The second kingdom is not as well off, but still makes a case for itself. There are minor issues, but people are mostly happy. Its army consists of ten thousand knights and five thousand squires.

And then the third kingdom. It is a depleted and sad region. There are no crops, and drought is profound. Its army consists of only one old knight and his loyal squire.

The three kingdoms eventually go to war for control of the lake, as it is a valuable resource to have.
On the night before the battle...

The first kingdom is confident of victory. They enjoy their dinner without a thought for the coming day. There is rich food, and the army feasts late into the night, even the squires.

The second kingdom's army is not as lucky, and they are a bit worried about the battle. They still eat merrily.

And in the third camp, the old knight lies down for a while. His squire hangs a high pot from a noose tied to an old tree and cooks him dinner in the pot. Both of them sleep rather quickly.

The day dawns, and the twenty thousand knights are too groggy from the night before. They do not move even when the bugle calls. Their squires take the field for them instead.

The second army is a mixture of groggy knights and squires.

The third army's only knight is too tired to leave his tent, so his squire stands in for him with a bow and arrow.

The battle begins, and the inexperienced squires are quickly defeated, along with the sleepy knights. Soon, only three squires are left, one from the first kingdom, one from the second, and the lone squire from the third.

They begin the final duel. The first squire is struck down by an arrow from the squire of the third kingdom. Just as the third squire reloads his bow and lets loose another arrow, a spear thrown by the second squire strikes him down.

However, his aim is true, and the loose arrow finds the second squire. And so it just goes to show,
that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

Triangle Puns

1. Why aren't there many jokes about triangles?
   Because some of them are obtuse.
2. Why is the Toblerone chocolate shaped like a triangle?
   So that it will fit inside the box.
3. What would you call the Bermuda Triangle if it had four edges?
   The Bermuda wreck-tangle.
4. Where did the square go after breaking the law?
   To prism.
5. My dad asked me why my math scores were weak. I told him I found myself caught in a love triangle.
   He looked concerned, sat down with me, and said, "You know you can tell me anything, right? What's really going on?"
   I replied, "I don't know how to explain this to you, but the four of us are in love."
6. I saw a right triangle resting under a tree.
   I thought, "Wow, 90 degrees in the shade!"

   

Square Puns

Let's now see how geometry puns and jokes about squares can make square concepts easier.

1. Why do restaurants put a pizza in square boxes?
   Because they don't cut corners.
2. What did the professor say when his student asked if pyramids were essentially squares?
   Yes, but only up to a point.
3. I told my daughter an interesting cat fact: if you drop any cat, it will fall at 32 feet per second squared.
   She immediately replied, "That's a rumor started by dogs."
4. What is Albert Einstein's rapper name?
   MC Squared!
5. Why didn't King Arthur use the square table?
   Because that table wasn't a-round.

   

6. My teacher is like 5, but square rooted.
   So irrational.
7. Why are square roots never sad?
   Because they are always positive.
8. Why didn't 4 cross the road?
   Because it was 2 squared.
9. Why are squares always so warm?
   Because every corner is a full 90 degrees.

   

10. Archimedes, Newton, and Pascal are playing hide and seek.
    It is Archimedes' turn to seek, so he starts counting down.
    Pascal quickly runs off to some bushes nearby.
    Newton starts walking, stops, thinks for a while, and then draws a box one meter on each side around himself in the dirt.
    Time is up, and Archimedes turns around: "Found you, Newton!"
    "I'm not Newton," he replies. "I'm one Newton in a square meter, so I'm a Pascal."

Summary

Now that you have so many puns and jokes, I am sure you can create many Geometry puns and Geometry jokes of your own. Let your imagination take wings and make a song and dance of Geometry!
