Rockin’ the Standards
PARALLEL OR PERPENDICULAR
(Do Your Ears Hang Low)
Do you see parallel
Lookin’ like a double ‘L’
Lines that never cross
Never would as well
But when two lines come together
Makin’ right angles, we yell...
Perpendicular
Parallel, Lines that never cross
Or Perpendicular, Two lines when they come together
Parallel or Perpendicular
QUADRILATERAL DANCE
(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)
9''S SONG
(Hokey Pokey)
You put your 9, 18, 27, 36,
45, 54 and 63, your 72, 81 and 90
That’s what it’s all about!
THE PLACE VALUE RAP
Music by Ben Jacobs, Lyrics by Tim Bedley
The digits, the digits, they each have a name
Memorize ‘em, Understand ‘em is the game
We start at the decimal, to the left we move
Each place is 10 times bigger, multiply ‘em and we prove
The digits, the digits, they fit in so tight
Greater to the left and lesser to the right
Starting at the decimal, sandwiched in between
Zeroes hold the empty places, haven’t you seen?
The digits, the digits, each one means a lot
You can’t leave ‘em out of the place value spot
Reading big numbers each comma’s a word
“Thousand, Million, Billion,” commas, haven’t you heard? Word!
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Comma
Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Comma
Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions, Comma
Billions, Ten Billions, Hundred Billions, Comma
Let’s take it to the right of the decimal point
We’ve got tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths
Smaller than a 1 with a T H
7''S SONG
(Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
7, 14, 21, 28 and 35, 42 and 49
56 and 63, 70 is the last one
Counting 7’s is so much fun
7, 14, 21, 28, YA! 35, 42, and 49
56, 63 and 70
MEAN MODE MEDIAN
Music by Ben Jacobs, Lyrics by Tim Bedley
I have a set of numbers so let’s now begin
The mean is the average, Add ‘em then divide
The mode is most often, and it’s easiest to find
Median is the middle, won’t have any trouble
Just line ‘em up big to little
Pick the number in the middle
Woo, That’s mean, mode, median!
Mean Mode Median (Average, Often, Middle Number)
6''S SONG

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48, 54 and 60
ANGLES SONG
(Bingo Song)
There was an angle had a name
And Righty was his name-o
Square corner just like so
Square corner just like so
Square corner just like so
And Righty was his name-o
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
Open wide just like so
And Obtuse was his name-o
3''S SONG
(Oh Where has My Little Dog Gone)
Oh where, oh where is 3, 6, 9 12,15, 18, 21
With a 24 brings us 27
Oh where, oh where is that 30
I’ve learned to skip my 3’s
I’m good at skippin’ on my 3’s
I’m good at skippin’ 3’s
I’ve learned to skip, it’s on my 3’s, oh ya!
TRIANGLE
(Here We Go ''Round the Mulberry Bush)
Here we go ‘round the triangle, triangle, the triangle
Here we go ‘round the triangle
It’s geometry
Equilateral triangle, triangle, triangle
Equilateral triangle
3 congruent sides
