About math team names

Math teams compete in school leagues, regional and national contests and olympiads, and plenty of them exist only for one Pi Day relay or a Friday review game. Either way the name ends up on a sign-in sheet, a scoreboard and often a T-shirt, and a teacher will read it aloud, so every name here is written to be classroom-safe.

The list is spread across the subjects so that it works for every grade. Arithmetic gives Prime Suspects, The Common Denominators and Please Excuse My Dear Team. Algebra gives Solve for X, Rise Over Run and Log Rhythms. Geometry is the richest source of puns (Acute Angles, Never Obtuse, Have No Sphere), with a handful of pi names beside it. Calculus and trigonometry supply The Limit Does Not Exist, Don't Forget Plus C and Sine Language. Statistics and probability supply Mean, Median and Mode and What Are the Odds, and logic supplies If and Only If and Quite Easily Done.

There are also tributes to mathematicians from history, such as Team Euler, The Noether Network, Hypatia's Heirs and Gauss and Check, fierce names with a mascot (Tangent Tigers, Vector Vipers), and gentle names for younger classes such as Number Bond Buddies.

How to choose math team names

  • Use the math your team actually studies. A sixth grade team will enjoy Fraction Falcons or Order of Operations, while Epsilon and Delta and Riemann Sum Squad belong to a calculus class.
  • Say it aloud the way an announcer will. Sum Thing Special, Gauss and Check and Lemma Tell You only work when people hear the pun.
  • Check the contest rules before you order shirts. Some leagues want the school name on the roster and treat a nickname as optional.
  • A tribute name is a chance to learn something. If you pick Banneker's Almanac, Germain's Primes or Recorde's Equals Sign, have one sentence ready about who the person was.
  • For a class with several groups, take a set from one topic so the names match: Right Angles, Acute Angles, Complementary Angles and Vertical Angles.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a math team?

A pun on something the team knows well usually wins: Prime Suspects, The Common Denominators, Solve for X, Never Obtuse or The Limit Does Not Exist. Teams that want to sound serious can take a mascot name such as Tangent Tigers or a tribute such as Team Euler.

Are these names suitable for school?

Yes. The list was written for students, teachers and coaches, so it leaves out innuendo and anything a teacher would not read to a class. The humor comes from numbers, shapes and classroom terms, as in Skip Counters, Perfect Squares and Proof by Pizza.

Who are the mathematicians in the tribute names?

All are figures from history. Leonhard Euler, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Emmy Noether shaped modern mathematics, Hypatia taught in Alexandria in late antiquity, and Robert Recorde introduced the equals sign. Names like Euclid's Elements and Sieve of Eratosthenes point to their best-known work.

Do the names work for younger students?

Yes. Number Bond Buddies, Ten Frame Team, Counting Bears and Fraction Foxes are aimed at elementary classes, and the arithmetic puns suit upper elementary and middle school. The calculus and logic names are there for high school teams.
