It has been a while since the last post, so as a little "I'm sorry," I will post all the differentiating materials I have accumulated over the past few weeks. This may be a little overkill, but you can use the materials as you wish and coming up with...(read more)

Math Music

I have heard that students in recovery math can't take music or band. Why make them choose? Incorporate music in math, it is easy and makes math fun for the students who couldn't or wanted to be in music. I have heard that math recovery teachers teach from a "script," when did we start taking the art out of teaching. (Isn't that what makes great teachers great?) Featured below is a song for graphing, called "We Will Graph You!" and goes to the tune of 'We Will Rock You.' Buddy, you're a man with a hard time graphing. All you need to do is find the m and the b. It's not hard you see, You put your pencil on the b. Graphing's not as hard as you thought it might be, singing Chorus: We will, we will graph you! We will, we will graph you! Now you've got a point on the y-intercept. All you need to do is find the rest of it. You need the slop to go on, That's rise over run. Delta y in delta x, boy it's fun, singing... (Chorus) Next, take the coefficients of the x baby. Find two more points and another one maybe. Go up or down first, Then go across. I dig graphing lines, I think it's boss, singing... (Chorus) There are many other sources you can use to have music in math class. A few sources are Math Sing/Song and Songs for Teaching .
