Gifts for Math Teachers
For the teacher who has answered "when will we ever use this?" a thousand times. Tees and sweatshirts with jokes that reward anyone who did their homework. Math teachers get a lot of mugs. What they rarely get is something that shows the giver actually understood the joke. A good math shirt does both: it's clever enough for the staff room and simple enough that the back row works it out by the end of the lesson.
Every pick in these gifts for math teachers is a design math lovers actually buy from us, from statistics jokes to the one that settles every argument. It's part of our wider geek gifts guide.
For the teacher who has heard every excuse twice
For the one who marks homework on the train and still smiles at a good pun.
Sometimes I go off on a tangent
A curve, a line just touching it, and the most honest confession any teacher can make. It's the joke every math lesson eventually becomes, drawn as neatly as it would be on the board.
One of our best-selling math designs, year after year.

A fine line
There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people will understand this. It's the perfect gift for math teachers because they are, reliably, in that fraction.
Shop NumeratorI see you have graph paper
You must be plotting something. It's a pun that works on two levels, which is exactly how many levels a math teacher likes their puns to work on.
A gentle classroom favourite for the start of any term.

For the one who sees bell curves everywhere
For the statistics teacher, the data nerd and anyone who has ever said "correlation is not causation" out loud.
A dinosaur, normally distributed
A bell curve with a long neck and a tail. It's the joke you see once and can't unsee, drawn in loose, looping lines, and it has quietly been a favourite of ours for years.
Statistics teachers buy it for themselves. Everyone else buys it for a statistics teacher.

Avoid negativity
f(x) = |x|. The absolute value function turns every negative into a positive, which makes it the most optimistic line in algebra. A smiley face underneath, for anyone who missed the point.
Shop Avoid NegativityForget average, be an outlier
A scatter plot, a line of best fit and one point floating well above the rest. It's motivational, technically, and it's the most popular statistics poster that never made it onto a classroom wall.
Lovely for a teacher who encourages the outliers.
Shop Be An Outlier
For the teacher who is never wrong
A right angle, neatly marked, and three words underneath: yes, I'm always right. It's the gift for every math teacher who has ever been asked to double check the answer key, and didn't.
Short, clean and readable from the back of the classroom, which is where it does its best work.
Shop Yes I'm Always Right
For marking papers in comfort
The math designs on a heavy-blend pullover hoodie, with a big print, a double-lined hood and a front pouch pocket. Cosy enough for a long evening of marking, and a joke the whole class will want explained.
