Factor in Some Fun

Mr. Lambert's class was always a chore to sit through. It wasn't just because it was a math class. That was bad enough. But Mr. Lambert's way of trying to spice math up for us youngsters only made it worse.

"Come on, guys," Mr. Lambert said one day, "Math isn't supposed to be boring! It's supposed to be fun-ducational!"

The entire class groaned.

"Turn those frowns upside down," Mr. Lambert's smile never diminished, though it was obvious he was straining to keep it that way, "it's like the reciprocal of a fraction but for your face! It's math-tastic!"

Again, more groaning.
