Measurement Conversion Chant

Pounds to Kilograms 2.2
This is easy for me and you
Inch to Centimeter 2.5
This is eay as a jive
Meters to Yards 1.09
I know that A is as good as mine
Liter to Quart 1.05
Not really like a bee hive
Kilogram Mile 1.6
Make it with sticks
I'm in a mix

(to the tune of pop goes the weasel)

Ashley Suchy's Math Poem

In miles i'm just plain old one
so lets add a little more fun
in kilometers i'm 1.6
so lets not pick up any more sticks

-------------------------------------

its fine to have a little fun
but please do not run, run, run
i'm trying to tell you about 1.6
but i guess i'll have to get back to
picking up sticks!

Maleka's Math Poem

In kilometers I'm 1.6

So let's walk down the road and pick up sticks

Most people here just call me a mile

So let's just stick with that and smile

Shama's Awesome Haiku

mile kilometer
kilometer one point six
which equals one mile

Peter Kilometer And Kyle Mile

Peter Kilometer was walking
And talking to his friend Kyle mile
Peter said “I have walked 1.609 Kilometers”
“Kyle said I have walked a mile”
Peter said “I have walked more than you”
Kyle said “but that is not true I have walked more than you”
Peter said “but how is that true”
They both went home and looked online
And this is what is what they found
“We have walked the same distance but we didn’t know that 1.609 Kilometers equal 1 mile” said Kyle

GRH miles and kilometers Poem

mile to kilometers haiku

Two miles equal to
about three kilometers

1 kilometer.

Quadrilateral Dance! Multiple Intelligences

Quadrilateral Dance! Multiple Intelligences

Quadrilateral Dance (sung to: Father Abraham)

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
A square is one of them
Congruent sides
And 4 right angles too
Right arm

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
A parallelogram, opposite sides
Both sets are parallel
Right arm, left arm

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
Rectangle’s one of them
The corners square
4 right angles around
Right arm, left arm, right leg

Chorus:
Quadrilateral, We do the quadrilateral dance
Let’s do the Quadrilateral,
We do the quadrilateral dance

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral

A trapezoid is one, 2 parallel
But the other 2 are not
Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg

Quadrilateral has many shapes
Many shapes has quadrilateral
Rhombus could be a square
Or diamond too
Must have congruent sides
Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg FOUR SIDES!
(chorus)

There was an angle had a name

There was an angle had a name
And Acute was her name-o
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
Closed and cute just like so
And Acute was her name-o

There was an angle had a name
And Obtuse was his name-o

Open wide just like so
Open wide just like so
And Obtuse was his name-o

Hands on Equations Video (Lesson 5 by David & Geordan)

Great Job David & Geordan!

Measure of an Angle in a Regular Polygon Cheer!

Go Shama & Alaina! :0)

Super Job!

Script:

"Alaina, How do you find the measure of one angle in a regular polygon?

Watch and Listen closely.

The number of angles minus 2

Times 180 that's what you do

Divide it by the number of angles

is one angle measure in a regular polygon

The formula is (n-2) x 180 divided by n"

Class of Video singing the "Diagonal Macarena"!

Students wanted to join in the "diagonal macarena" dance!

Love it! Who says math isn't fun? :0)

Learn the diagonals formula by singing to the Macarena!

Great Job Parker & Chris!

Shape Poem by Shel Silverstein

A Square

A square was sitting quietly
Outside his rectangular shack
When a triangle came down - kerplunk! -
And struck him in the back
"I must go to the hospital,"
Cried the wounded square,
So a passing rolling circle
Picked him up and took him there.
