It was a bright day, with the sun shining bright like a lemon PI. It was a PERFECT day for the race. An ABUNDANT amount of spectators fi lled the stands. A TAN GENT was COMPLEMENTing A CUTE ANGLE, as she fl uttered by.
His SEC ANT was ADJACENT to him suffering from a SINEus infection. Security for the event was provided by the PENTAGON as ORDERED PAIRS PLOTted themselves down in the four QUADRANTS around the track.
One COPLANAR didn’t seem to be to happy about his seat and was yelling so hard that he almost had a COROLLARY. Vendors walked through the stands yelling, “snow CONEs, get them before they melt.”
Entrants in the race had to SINE in with their entrance fees, however, THETA had to have a COSINEr because she didn’t have the fee. The ELLIPTICLE track was SLOPEd along the MAJOR straightaways and leveled off around the MINOR curves.
The infi eld SURFACE AREA had lost most of its grass and fl owers when a swarm of LOCUS came through the past summer. Snares had been set on the outer fence line to TRAP E ZOID that was always digging up the track. It was time for the race.
Bang! POLY GON went off. The race had begun. CIRCLE was off and rolling smoothly along. RAY shot straight out. The fans could hear EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE go plop, plop, plop in a nice even tone. RIGHT TRIANGLE was having trouble staying up on its smaller LEGS.
The SQUARE started off fast, but a RECT ANGLE caused it to leave the track. Suddenly, A POTHEM carrying her brood on her back streaked across the track and disappeared into SPACE. At the fi rst curve, CIRCLE had the perfect ROTATION.
But, RAY only knew one direction and ran off the track into INFINITY. And the crowd could still hear plop, plop, plop as EQUI rounded the curve. The remaining racers could see the CHORD stretched across the fi nish LINE.
It was going to be a close fi nish. The racers were at MAXIMUM speeds, reaching their LIMITs trying to MINIMIZE the distance to the fi nish. Suddenly, out of nowhere the PLANE BISECTED the CHORD and won. Whew! That PLANE sure could fl y.
MORAL: Mathematics may seem awful serious, but it can be a lot of fun when looked at and treated with the right perspective. One should teach and/ or learn MATH IN LIVING COLOR!!!
