We are here to find the mean.

If you add three numbers you divide by three.

We are here to find the mode.

We just want the one used most.

Line them up the way we need ‘em.

Chop the ends until there’s one.

Now we know our medians done.

Elementary Mathematics Academy-2005

Sung to Redneck Woman- Gretchen Wilson

Written by Lori Shaw

Well, I ain’t never been the mathematics type

No, I can’t add mentally

I’d rather use my fingers right

In the lunch line, in my checkbook, or in

The grocery store checkout

I’ve got numbers in my head

And I can’t even figure ‘em out

The master teachers taught me,

And now the numbers click

I’d add barefooted in my own front yard with my fingers behind my hips.

(CHORUS)

Cause I’m a math teaching’ mama

I ain’t no scare of numbers chick

I’m the product of 2 and 20

So hey ya’ll in this gym

I keep my number line up on my

Chalkboard all year long

And I know all the multiples of

5, 4,3,2,1

So here’s to all my math friends

Out there keepin’ us thinking

Let me get a big square root

For my math geek friends like me.

SQUARE ROOT

Adding base 5, that base is just fine

Cause now I know that 5+4 the answer isn’t 9.

I’m brainy, just as brainy as Nancy and Danny

No I don’t need no calculator

This geek solves problems for me

Some people think I’m right brained

My strategies non seen

But in my left hemisphere

My lists are oh so keen

REPEAT CHORUS

Take a Look at Some Numbers

(Written by Cindy Bryant & sung to the tune of “Take me out to the ballgame”)

Take a look at some numbers

There are some things you’ll see

Those that name the same amount

Are known as equivalencies

Some name parts of whole numbers

Some may name more than one

So it’s fractions, decimals, and percents

For us to learn

You can’t divide by zero

(tune: Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer)

Zero, that funny number

Has a shape that looks like “O”

And if you want to use it,

There are things you need to know.

Never divide by zero

If you do, you will be sad

Getting a crazy answer

Making your report look bad.

But treat zero as your friend

Use him carefully

Safe to multiply or add

That’s the rule for zero, lad

Zero that screwball number

Wants to be a comrade true

But don’t divide by zero

Or your grade is zero, too!

Circumference Sue

(Sung to the tune of “Runaround Sue” by Dion)

Here’s my story, it’s sad but true,

About a girl that I once knew.

She took my love that ran around

With every single guy in town!

You’re gonna’ hear the story from the very start.

She travels ‘round the circle with my broken heart.

She runs around so fast I’m telling you

I’d keep away from Circumference Sue!

She likes to travel around.

She travels on the outskirts of town.

She always yells to other guys,

“Circumference is diameter time’s pi!”

Here’s the moral of the story from the guy who knows,

Sue’s always chasing her other beaus,

Running fast ‘round the circle I’m telling you,

Just keep away from Circumference Sue!

My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

My Bonnie is lost on the ocean.

My Bonnie is lost on the sea.

The ocean top looks like a circle.

I’ll search and bring her back to me.

CHORUS:

Surface, surface

The surface is too big for me to see.

I’ll look, I’ll look

I’ll look ‘til my Bonnie’s back with me.

One reason that I want to find her

Is I never told her I cared.

To see how much area I will search in,

I take pi times the radius squared!

CHORUS

Factors and Multiples Song…

(Written by Cindy Bryant & sung to the tune of Clementine)

Find the factors of a number

And you will clearly see,

That factors of a number can be counted

Easily.

Find the multiples of a number and you will

Clearly see,

There are millions of multiples,

Far beyond infinity…

Find the perimeter

(Written by Cindy Bryant & sung to the tune of Clementine)

(Chorus)

Find the perimeter,

It’s the distance all around.

For all polygons and circles,

Linear measure will abound.

Find the perimeter,

In all polygons just add the sides.

For circles, just remember,

It’s diameter time’s pi!!
