HELLO!
You have discovered my math songs and poems webpage. I am Vicki Young and I teach at
Motlow State Community College in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Are you a math teacher who
has tried just about everything to motivate your students and get them interested in
mathematics? Here's a poem that explains how I got started using songs to teach math:
After attending a workshop in which the speaker suggested that music can provide a viable
means of remembering information, I began writing songs to use in the classroom. I have
always enjoyed singing and writing poems so these math songs have provided a great outlet
for two of my favorite hobbies. My students get used to their crazy singing teacher and
sometimes I can even get them to sing along! Download the mp3 version and sing along as I sing an accapella version of each song.
Of course, each song is actually a poem so you can also use them (rewriting any words you
wish) without audio. Most of the melodies should seem familiar because they are based on popular songs.
Of course, these melodies are copyrighted and cannot be used to generate any sales revenue.
You are welcome to share any of the songs or poems on this site with
your students. My students generally get a kick out of them - yours will, too! Have fun!
