Cannot believe that it has been August already. This month we will discuss about memes related to the theme "Back to School". Are you ready? Here is our first monthly meme⬇️
Three images of "students" at different levels of mathematics. Elementary School - Captioned "I don't like math! too many numbers!" High School - Captioned "oh yeah? Try numbers AND letters." College - Captioned "You guys get numbers?"

We posted the image below on the bird site yesterday.

Since it's now May (happy belated May day ... and a preemptive "may the 4th be with you), our #MathMemeChat will explore memes focused on mathematical content.

So, to begin, what does this 'meme' to you?

Thank you for your participation in (insert Month)’s #MathMemeChat. We are always on the lookout for more examples of #MathMeme, so we ask ... What was the last meme you received? From whom?

What messages do you see within these images? Are there any themes that cut across all of them?

Image - A 4 panel Calvin and Hobbes cartoon where Calvin is trying to do math homework and Hobbes introduces the idea of "imaginary numbers" Text - Panel 1: Calvin "Here's another math problem I can't figure out. What's 9 + 4?" Panel 2: Hobbes "ooh. That's a tricky one. You have to use calculus and imaginary numbers for this." Panel 3: Calvin "IMAGINARY NUMBERS?!" Hobbes "You know, Eleventeen, Thirty-twelve, and all those. It's a little confusing at first." Panel 4: Calvin "How did YOU learn all this? You've never even gone to school!" Hobbes "Instinct. Tigers are born with it."
