Hello there! hope you like our song.. actually this is our math project, this song received 93 as our grade. :))
Math Song (Payphone Tune) – Lyrics
[Chorus]
I’m at a classroom trying to solve this
Math problem given by you
Where should I go now
Can you help me, I cannot take this anymore
[1st Verse]
Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember
The lessons that you have taught
It’s even harder to picture
That I can pass this exam
You said this subject is easy
But now what is going on
[Refrain]
And then that time that you said came
we are all nervous
[Pre-Chorus]
But now I’m trying to cope up
With your solutions
Even its hard,
To gain confidence to answer your problems
Still I am trying to understand
[Chorus]
I’m at a classroom trying to solve this
Math problem given by you
Where should I go now
Can you help me, I cannot take this anymore
[Bridge]
If mathematics problem did exist
I would still be solving you like this
I promise I will listen every time
I promise I’ll get higher grades tonight
[2nd Verse]
You’re still reviewing your lessons
You’re trying to memorize
I gave you my notes to borrow
But you just gave it away
You said you don’t need my help
You said you can handle it
[Repeat Refrain][Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus][Repeat Bridge]
Now I’m at a classroom
[Rap part]
Give me one whole sheet
I’ll be here solving all this problem while you’re looking around
Wondering what? the solutions will I use
I Made it from the first
But now when you see me I’m stunning
And all my answer starts with picking of a letter
Telling me the answer calculus? or whatever you call it
Switched the page to the other
So I’ll never forget it
Need your help on this test
Coz’ I don’t wanna fail it
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really long time but I missed the last part
So you talk about my answer at the back
Or what I could’ve wrote
But sad to say it’s over for
My answers are wrong, they are very wrong
Wish I have brain, got what you was thinking for
Now my score? I don’t want
to know so you can go and take that little piece of test with you
[Repeat Chorus][Repeat Bridge]
[Coda]
I’m at a classroom, done answering that?!
You have probably heard people say they are just bad at math, or perhaps you yourself feel like you are not “a math person.” Not so, says Stanford mathematics education professor Jo Boaler, who shares the brain research showing that with the right teaching and messages, we can all be good at math. Not only that, our brains operate differently when we believe in ourselves. Boaler gives hope to the the mathematically fearful or challenged, shows a pathway to success, and brings into question the very basics of how our teachers approach what should be a rewarding experience for all children and adults.
Jo Boaler is a professor of mathematics education at Stanford and the co-founder of YouCubed, which provides resources and ideas to inspire and excite students about mathematics. She is also the author of the first massive open online course on mathematics teaching and learning. Her book Experiencing School Mathematics won the Outstanding Book of the Year award for education in Britain. A recipient of a National Science Foundation “early career award”‘ she was recently named by BBC as one of the eight educators changing the face of education.
