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
