About Our Songs
It is my experience that every person learns
in a variety of different ways. One effective
method of learning and retaining is by using
songs, rhythms and rhymes.
I am not gifted in the area of being
a good singer! Yet, I have been blessed
to be able to make up short verses of song
to help the students memorize material in math.
MOT PEOPLE CAN LEARN ALMOST ANYTHING THROUGH SONG.
These short verses have been so effective
over the years that students have constantly
asked for more songs. One student even called
me from College to tell me that she was taking
a math test and had a brain freeze. She said
she sat still and one of my sing songs played
itself inside her head and she was able to figure
out how to continue with the problem.
At this point, I am just listing the songs.
Later, some songs will be available with explanations.
One of the most popular songs verses of our
class is The Pythagorean Theorem Song. It has been
very instrumental in helping the students to
understand the theorem and how it works.
My advice to you is to remember that you can use songs to help
yourself remember things in other subjects as well as you can
help yourself to remember things in Math using songs.
