MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: "Math Rapping" makes an appearance

They have been doing a little “Math Rapping” at McDowell Elementary School.

Mr. Tomassion's fifth-grade class got a visit from a "Grand Master T" today. His rap went like this:

Equivalent fractions have only one rule,

So just keep cool and don't act a fool.

To make an equivalent fraction

you must be a man of action

Divide the numerator, divide the denominator

Just be sure to use the same number

When I say equivalent you say fractions, repeat 3 times.

So just use the rule like you've been taught

You can remember cuz it's not a lot

What ever you do to the numerator

You must do to the denominator

Dividing will work or you can multiply too

Just use the same number what ever you do

When I say equivalent you say fractions, repeat 3 times.

Staff and students want to thank  "Grand Master T"  for coming today.

It's a whole new way to look at math!
