Fraction rock

The teacher walks in, you’re sitting in your place.

There’s a menacing look growing on his face.
He grabs a piece of chalk and he gives you the look.
He says, “Everybody now, take out your math books.”
Your stomach’s in knots as he demands action.
You’ve got to demonstrate equivalent fractions.

Chorus:
You got to be like a rabbit and multiply!
Be like a rabbit and multiply!

You walk up to the board, your hands are sweating.

Don’t know it you can do it, you start fretting.
There’s a fraction on the board right in front of you.
The fraction is a half (1/2). What ‘cha gonna do?
There’s a little voice calling from deep inside your brain.
Listen really close, this is what it’s saying.

Chorus

Multiply the top, it’s called the numerator.

Multiply the bottom, the denominator.
If you use the same digit, you’ll see the numbers change.
But the fraction that’s a half will still remain the same.
A half is two-quarters (2/4), A half is three-sixths (3/6)
A half is four-eighths (4/8), Feel confusion fade?
A half is five-tenths (5/10), A half is ten-twentieths (10/20)
A half is fifty-hundredths (50/100), Isn’t that amazing?

Chorus

The lesson has been learned, you just multiply.

If you want the numbers smaller, go ahead divide.
If you use the same digit for the bottom and the top,
You’ll keep on getting smaller, ‘til you’ve got to stop.
Ten over twenty (10/20) is equal to a half.
Although the numbers change, the value stays the same.
Six over twelve’s (6/12) just another way to name it,
‘Cause a half is a half, no matter how you say it.

New Chorus:
You got to be like an amoeba and divide!
Be like an amoeba and divide!

The teacher walks in, your sitting in your place.

There’s a smile of pride, building on your face.
He grabs a piece of chalk and he tosses it to you.
You walk up to the board, you know what to do.
You’re feeling really good as you spring into action.
You get to demonstrate equivalent fractions.
 Is the name
1.
I have got a shape / that I don't recognize
So I counted and I learned / that it has four sides
            And a four sided shape / is a quadrilateral
            So I guess there is one thing / that I know

Next I think I'll look / for any parallel sides

If it has only one pair / then it is a trapezoid
            Of course if there aren't any / then all that I can say
            Is that quadrilateral / is the name of my shape

Chorus
Quadrilaterals are shapes that have four sides
We need to check for parallels in order to classify
It could be a trapezoid or a parallelogram
And then a rectangle, a rhombus, or a square even

2.
I can see that in my shape / two pairs of sides are parallel
Which means the shape I'm dealing with / is a parallelogram
            So now I'll look to see / if the angles are all the same
            Or maybe all the sides / have the same measurement

If the angles are the same / then they must all be ninety
Which means that my shape / is a rectangle you see
            And if all of the sides / are the exact same length
            Then a rhombus is the name / for my very special shape

Bridge
But in my shape the angles are / all ninety degrees
And all of the sides / have the exact same length
In that situation / we have a special name
As it turns out square is the name / of my shape
 Positice rational numbers
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The numbers that fall in between consecutive whole numbers include 
Positive Rational Numbers

Positive Rational Numbers can be written in any of three forms, any of three
notations;
As fractions
As decimals
As percents
Each form has its own special characteristics
The forms are interchangeable, but the ways of doing standard operations
With the three notations are very different

Got Math?

Fractions are used to name part of a whole object

Or part of a whole collection of objects
Or to compare two quantities
A fraction is a number in the form a/b 
Where a and b are whole numbers and b is not zero

A decimal is a name for a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 

For example: 1/100 = 0.01, 1/1000 = 0.001
So a fraction with a multiple of ten in the denominator can also be written
As an equivalent decimal number 
And, because a fraction can also represent division
That is to say that the fraction 2/3 can be thought of as 2 divided by 3
So that when you divide a numerator by a denominator,
You can express that fraction as a decimal equivalent

A percent is a fraction with 100 in the denominator

The word percent comes from the Latin words "per centum":
"Per" meaning for and "centum" meaning one hundred; 
Ergo, 60 percent means 60 out of one hundred
A percent always represents a percent of something
And that something is the whole thing, or 100%!
 Slip to the side
Yo! Yo Yo! Say Yo! Come on, Yo Yo!

Well there’s a rule that you need when you’re learning how to round.
It will help you decide to go up or down.

Chorus:
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.

Yo! Yo Yo! Say Yo! Come on, Yo Yo!

Well if the number that you see is a five or more,

You gotta round up now, that’s for sure.
If the number that you see is a four or less,
You gotta round down to avoid a mess.

CHORUS:
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.

Yo! Yo Yo! Say Yo! Come on, Yo Yo

If you remember this rule and you don’t forget.

You’ll know how to round, it’s a sure bet.

CHORUS:
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.

You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.
You just slip to the side, and you look for a five.

Look for a five,

Look for a five,
Look for a five.
Yo
 We’re talkin’parallel
Chorus
(We're talkin' parallel) Like two lines on a plane
No matter where you check them their distance is the same
(They got the same slope) and they don't intersect
Because them parallel lines, they are equidistant

1.
I got two parallel lines sittin' waitin' for me
To draw myself one of them transversals you see
And when I'm done I'll have a line that crosses both my parallels
My transversal has created eight different angles
I can describe each pair of angles based on where they reside
First I will go with the transversal if they're on the same side
Then they are consecutive but on the other hand
If they are not on the same side, then what we call them's alternate

2.
So then I take a look at the two parallel lines
And I decide if my two angles are both on the inside
And if they are, then they're interior, but what if they're not?
Well in that case, exterior is the label that we've got
So then we put it all together and we name our angles
Consecutive or alternate due to the transversal
The angles are interior between them parallels
But if they're outside then you've got exterior angles

3.
What's neat about this system is the pattern that you see
If your angles are consecutive they're supplementary
And if they're alternate, their measures are the same
So if we know one angle then the rest can all be named
There is one final pair that we need to talk about
When one angle is inside and the other one is out
So long as they're consecutive, these have a special name
We call them corresponding and their measures are the same

SQUARES MADE OF Squares

 GAME # 1

THE SET OF TILEs

This Set Of Tiles can be used to help teach kids how to
add and subtract numbers of more than one digit. Good
for, say, first to third graders, or anyone who just doesn't
'get' the idea of carrying and borrowing 1's. Extra
materials needed: scissors, to cut out the tiles.

GAME #2
 LOVE HEARTH MATH PUZZLE
In this math puzzle, the goal is to cut up a heart-shaped biscuit into three pieces. The cuts don't
need to be straight - in fact, they can wiggle and writhe as much as you like. They'll have to, in
fact. The shape of the biscuit makes this puzzle mesh well with themes like Valentine's day or
love. However the puzzle can also be used at any other time of the year.

So, here's the puzzle. The biscuit has sprinkles on it (heart-shaped, of course). These sprinkles
come in three colors - white, red and pink. The goal is to cut the biscuit into three pieces, so that
one piece has all the white sprinkles, the second has all the pink ones, and the third piece has all
the red sprinkles. The pieces will be very oddly shaped, with twisty-turny edges!

GAME #3
GAME #3
 TRAFFIC JAM GAME
The traffic jam game (also called the rush hour game) caught my imagination the moment my
eyes set on it. It's such a great game for teaching logical thinking to kids! So I decided to put a
printable free traffic jam game online, right here on this web page!

The game came with a plastic game board, and an array of colorful cars and trucks of different
lengths. There were also instructions explaining the rules of the game, and a puzzle book with
over a hundred puzzles to set up and solve.

GAME #4
To Play:

1. Each team takes five number strips out of the envelope. Someone sets the timer for 15
minutes and play begins.
2. Partners work together to complete each number strip. They try to get as many done as
quickly as possible. If they finish all five strips, they may get more from the envelope.
3. When time runs out, each team checks their opponents’ answers.
4. The team with the most correct number strips is the winning team.

GAME #5
To play:

 Draw a fishing pole to see who starts. Person with the lowest number begins.If there’s a
tie, keep drawing until someone has the lowest number.
 For each turn, one player draws two fishing poles from the jar. All the players add the
two numbers together, find the sum on their game board, and cover the sum with a
marker. Each player may cover only 1 space on the game board per turn.
 After each turn, the player puts the poles back in the jar. The next player draws two poles.
 Play continues until someone has covered 5 numbers in a row – up, down, across, or
diagonally. That player wins the round. *
 To play a new round, the players trade game boards and a different player begins.
