Today I bring you, math music! Yes, you heard me right. Whether you prefer the beat of rap or the energy of techno dance music- these teachers are taking math to a whole new level! This teacher, by the name of 2 Pi, raps his way through the quadratic formula and more.
This link will take you to his very inspiring history and also features a smooth R&B version of the Pythagorean theorem http://www.npr.org/2013/01/08/167471106/2-pi-rhymes-and-radii
While this link will take you to a fun math rap video http://uk.news.yahoo.com/jake-scott-math-rap--teacher-raps-maths-lessons-at-montgomery-blair-high-school-151749865.html#Fm09Vcl
Techno more your style? Prefer a little Pit Bull? Try this teacher! http://www.today.mccombs.utexas.edu/2012/11/rapping-math-teacher-mark-rogers
Think rapping is only for guys? This teacher won an award for her math raps

and these girls had fun with a math parody of Bruno Mars
What would you rap or rhyme to? I was thinking about the math I use, my math rap would look something like this:
Vector math, it really is great
Multiply columns of 3, 5, or 8
Little x, y, and z
They all come to me
I add them up in each column
No need to be solemn
Big X, Y, and Z
They all come to me
These multiplied columns of 3, 5, or 8
Vector math, it is First Rate!
:)
OK so I am not a rap star, but it was sure fun! I encourage you to try your own math song, or have a math rap meet. Remember, math is fly and that's no lie! Please share your math or STEM song, I'd love to hear it!
