This Educational Math School Assembly is Filled with Interactive Fun, Games, and Magic!
Here’s why math school assemblies are so important: A lot of kids think math is boring!
Making the problem worse is that many kids think math doesn’t have a use in the real world. Here’s where effective math assemblies can help!
The problem with many math school assemblies is that they are all the same – too much talk and focus on numbers.
A great math assembly program can help expand kids’ views on math: showing them just how useful math is in life, and that math is so much more than just numbers…and how much FUN math is.
This Math School Assembly Will Show Your Students on How Useful Math is in Life
The “Goofy Kooky Math Show” math assembly program is filed with games, contests, music, magic, zany humor, audience interaction, and more. It’s got a little of everything in it:
- There’s a game with Larry The Alligator, who plays the “Greater Than/Less Than Game.”
- Another goofy game with odds and evens and stuffed chickens set to “Chariots of Fire”
- Slices of pizza are used to demonstrate concepts of percentages
- Three kids discover a topological secret to a stunt with ropes
- A 3” x 5” note card and a student’s head teaches concepts of perimeter and geometry
- The show ends with “Danger Division,” which speaks for itself!
Those concepts are from the grades K-5 version of the assembly. I also have a version for middle schools!
The details on this version of the show is listed near the bottom of this page.
Your middle school students will love it, and become more interested in math as a result… guaranteed!
The core concepts and terminology reinforced in the Goofy Kooky Math School Assembly Show:
- perimeter, volume, surface area
- basic division
- increasing mental acuity
- estimation
- probability & possibility
- symmetry
- magic squares
- topological puzzles

The important thing to remember is that this math school assembly is NOT a dry, boring lecture. But it’s not “just for fun” either.
This school assembly introduces students to fascinating math concepts, reinforces terms your students hear in class, and demonstrates just how important and fun math is!
