Garfield Math

Doing math from a cat’s standpoint, or with the least effort. When a creative but lazy person is always on the lookout for a shortcut or hack to solve a math problem, so that they could have more time for leisure or rest.

Street-smart people tend to use Garfield math strategies to deal with their everyday quantitative challenges, compared to their exam-smart counterparts who prefer a more conventional or routine approach.

WFH Math

Short for “Working from Home Math.” When home-based teaching and learning of math is felt to be semi-ineffective or unproductive for most teachers and students, who are still banned from schools as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Some Puritan or Trumpublican parents wanted Mr. Putins to be fired after he mistyped “WTF Math” instead of “WFH Math” on the WhatsApp Teachers-Parents group.

Case Math

A form of applied math usually learned in college (but outside of the classroom) that involves figuring out just how many beers from a case are rightfully yours. When splitting a case (commonly a 30 beer case of Keystone Light or Busch Light) with friends, one will usually perform a quick mental equation of the portion of the case that belongs to them.

It's been theorized that Case Math is the only form of math that's actually worth two fucks.

Ed: Just picked up a 30 rack! You, Alex, and I are splitting it.

*you and Alex quickly perform some mental case math and both deduce quickly that each guy gets 10 beers*

OR

*Ed is trying to give a girl a beer out of the shared case, in hopes of getting her drunk and hooking up with her.*

Ed: Hey, I'm gonna give this girl a beer from our case, cool?

You: Sure, but that comes out of your beers, me and Alex are still drinking our 10. And you'd better close, too.

Thailand Math

Math questions on food, drinks, and consumer items (toothpaste, lipsticks, skin lotions, etc.) that contain cannabis or its derivatives, which poses a health or moral threat to concerned or conservative parents, pastors, and politicians.

A raw math manuscript, which defines “green products” as those containing marijuana in controlled amounts, was leaked out to some expatriate teachers in an international school in Bangkok. One such Thailand math question is the following: “Two green cookies and a cup of green coffee cost 415 Baht. Three green cookies and two cups of green coffee cost 710 Baht. What much is a green cookie?” Answer: 120 Baht.

Fake Math

A term used by those who know beforehand that they don’t stand a chance to pass their math test or exam unless they resort to lying, cheating, or bribery—they often blame the teacher for bias against them, practicing unfair grading, or setting unrealistic or artificial questions that are confusing and open to different interpretations.

Guesstimate how many Trumpublican students in red states every year would scapegoat fake math for their failure to get a passing grade in their middle- or high-school math paper rather than putting in the time and effort to master the math concepts.
