Tunes, part tres

For my algebra class, the students had to create a song that covered a topic from the current school year. Here is the last example. Enjoy!

Graphing
Song: Friday

Seven a.m., going to math class
Gotta be smart, gotta go to school
Gotta know how to graph, gotta get a pencil
Graphin’ everything, the pencil’s always moving
Tickin' on and on, everybody's workin'
Gotta get y by itself
Gotta draw my lines, I see my answer, my answer

B is the y-intercept
M is the slope
Y is the answer
This is so easy

It's Graphing, Graphing
Gotta get down on graphing
y=mx+b, bbbbb
Graphing, Graphing
Gotta know graphin’
Y=mx+b, bbbb

Graphin' and, graphin' (Yeah)
Graphin' and, graphin' (Yeah)
Math, math, math, math
Lookin' forward to the solution

2:37, we're getting out of class
Knowin’ so much, I can do my homework
Math, Math, thinkin’ about math
You know what it is
I got this, you got this
My calculator is by my right
I got this, you got this
Now you know it

B is the y-intercept
M is the slope
Y is the answer
This is so easy

It's Graphing, graphing
Gotta get down on graphing
Y=mx+b, bbbb
Graphin, graphin
Getting down on graphing
Y=mx+b, bbbb

Tunes, part deux

For my algebra class, the students had to create a song that covered a topic from the current school year. Here is example two of three. Enjoy!


Exponent Rules
Song: Black and Yellow

CHORUS
Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I multiply, I add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I divide, I subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you times, you gotta remember to add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you divide, always remember to subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

VERSES
Exponent rules, always crazy
Use all forms, don’t get lazy
Add when multiplying, subtract when dividing
If you don’t get it, keep trying

It’s not hard to be learnin’
Just get that brain juice burnin’
Remember what term goes with what
So you won’t be confused and stuck.

CHORUS
Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I multiply, I add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

Yea uh-huh you know what it is
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician
Every time I divide, I subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you times, you gotta remember to add
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

When you divide, always remember to subtract
Mathematician, mathematician, mathematician

Tunes

For my algebra class, the students had to create a song that covered a topic from the current school year. Here is one example. Enjoy!

Equation of a line
Song: Forget You

Song 1:
I’m getting kinda frustrated with y=mx+b and I’m like forget you
Ms. Pettit’s helping me out but still I’m kinda confused and I’m like
Forget you and forget math too
I said if I wasn’t smarta this’d be a lot harda
Ha, now aint that some shhhh
But I need to get my homework done even though it’s no fun
So I’m like forget you


So, m’s the slope
Now isn’t that just dope
As for b, it’s the y-intercept
But I didn’t know
Straight’s the only way to go
Between two points, that is
I pity the fool who doesn’t know these rules
Oh
Well
Ooooh, I’ve got some help for you
Yeah, go tell all your little friends


Chorus:
I’m getting kinda frustrated with y=mx+b and I’m like forget you
Ms. Pettit’s helping me out but still I’m kinda confused and I’m like
Forget you and forget math too
I said if I wasn’t smarta this’d be a lot harda
Ha, now aint that some shhhh
But I need to get my homework done even though it’s no fun
So I’m like forget you


Line 2:
So before you go solo
Make sure that you know
To put rise over run
Another piece of info
Is it’s gotta be in slope
Intercept form to work
I pity the fool who doesn’t know these rules
Oh
Well
Oooh, I’ve got some news for you
I’m a graphing beast now
