Five little Ducklings

Five little ducklings went swimming one day,
over the hills and far away.
When mother duck says "Quack, quack, quack."
Only four little ducks came back.

Four little ducklings went swimming one day,
over the hills and far away.
When mother duck says "Quack, quack, quack."
only three little ducks came back.

Three little ducklings went swimming one day,
over the hills and far away.
When mother duck says "Quack, quack, quack."
only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducklings went swimming one day,
over the hills and far away.
When mother duck says "Quack, quack, quack."
only one little ducks came back.

Four Little Ducks

Four little ducks that I once knew,
Fat ducks, skinny ducks, they were, too.
But one little duck with a feather on her back,
She ruled the others with a quack! quack! quack!
Down to the river they all would go,
1, 2, 3, 4, all in a row.
But one little duck with a feather on her back,
She ruled the others with a quack! quack! quack!

We Hang Together (fact families)

2009-01-25T14:26:00.000-08:00

Check this out:
Add four plus five and you get nine.
That's a fact, yeah, that's a fact.
Add five plus four and you also get nine.
That's a fact, yeah, another fact so fine.

Chorus
We three numbers-four, five, nine,
We are a fact family!
We hang together mathematically.
You can rearrange us
To make four different facts:
Two facts that add
And two facts that subtract.

Check this out:
Subtract four from nine and you get five.
That's a fact, yeah, that's a fact.
Subtract five from nine and you get four.
That's a fact, yeah, that's for sure.

Repeat chorus.

The three numbers in any math fact
Make a family-we hang together.
(We hang together.)
There are families for subtraction and addition,
And other families for multiplication and division.

Now check this out:
Multiply two times four and you get eight.
That's a fact, yeah, that's a fact.
Multiply four times two and you also get eight.
That's a fact, yeah, isn't it great?

Divide eight by two and you get four.
That's a fact, yeah, that's a fact.
Divide eight by four and you get two.
That's a fact, yeah, you know it's true.

Chorus
We three numbers-two, four, eight,
We are a fact family!
We hang together mathematically.
You can rearrange us
Either way that you decide:
Two facts that multiply
And two facts that divide.

So look for fact families in your math facts.
We make math easy, so you can relax.
We hang together. We hang together.
We hang together. We hang together.
We hang together. (Sing it with us.)
We hang together. (Mathematically.)
We hang together. (Turn us around.)
We hang together. (Sing it with

Get to the Point (coordinate plane)

2009-01-24T14:25:00.000-08:00

Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, I've got to get to the point.
Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, I've got to get to the point.

This coordinate plane, it confuses my brain.
How can I locate a point on the plane?
I know I have to do this right.
There are two intersecting perpendicular number lines
Confusing to my brain tonight.
(I've got to get to the point.)

The horizontal line, it goes side to side,
That's the x axis. (Get to the point.)
The vertical line, it goes up and down,
That's the y axis. (Get to the point.)
Where they intersect, that's the origin.
To graph a point,
You have to start at the origin,
Start at the origin.

When you see two numbers in parentheses,
That's called an ordered pair.
The numbers tell you which direction to go
And how far to move to get there.
Which way? How far?
Look at what the numbers are!

Chorus
First you do the horizontal-that's the x,
Then you do the vertical-the y next.
Move left or right, and then move up or down,
The numbers will tell you how many units
To count. (to get to the point)

Begin at the origin: First you do the x,
Negative means move left, positive means move right.
Then from that point you do the y,
Negative means move down, positive means move up.

Let's see if you've got it now!
Negative four, positive three: (Go left four, up three.)
Positive two, positive nine: (Go right two, up nine.)
Positive one, negative five: (Go right one, down five.)
Negative four, negative eight: (Go left four, down eight.)
Yes, I think you've got it straight!

Repeat chorus.

Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, you've got to get to the point!
Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, you've got to get to the point! (Get to the point!)

How Easy Is That? (add and subtract fractions)

2009-01-21T14:25:00.000-08:00

Let me show you something that's easy to do.

Easy for you, but more difficult for me.
It looks complicated, but it's easy as can be.
How easy is that?

When you've got LIKE fractions, how do you know?
They have the same denominator down below.

To add LIKE fractions and get the right sum,
You just add the numerators;
Keep the same denominator down below.
So, two fifths plus two fifths equals four fifths.
Add two plus two-easy to do.
How easy is that?

To subtract LIKE fractions and get the right difference,
You subtract the numerators,
Keep the same denominator down below.
So, three fourths minus two fourths equals one fourth.
Three minus two-easy to do.
How easy is that?

Easy for you, and now it's easy for me.
It looks complicated, but it's easy as can be.
How easy is that?

When they're UNLIKE fractions, how do you know?
Different denominators down below.

To add or subtract UNLIKE fractions
And get the right difference or sum,
Use equivalent fractions
That have the same denominator down below.

So, one fifth plus one tenth
Is just the same as
Two tenths plus one tenth,
And two tenths plus one tenth equals three tenths.
Add two plus one-it's easily done.
How easy is that?

Easy for you-now it's easy for me,
It looks complicated but it's easy when you know
That you need the same denominator,
The same denominator,
The same denominator down below.

How easy is that? How easy is that?
How easy is that? Oh, how easy is that?

A Minute Seems Like

2009-01-19T14:15:00.000-08:00

(chorus)	A minute seems like a minute. A day seems like a day. But an hour of doing what I don't like Is longer than one of play.
	I can read a book for an hour And stay and stay and stay. But a minute of cleaning up my room Seems longer than a day. (chorus)

2009-01-12T14:07:00.000-08:00

(chorus) Subtracting is to take away-
Making shorter, less, or smaller,
The opposite of adding-
Making longer, more, or taller.

And I ate only two,
How many grapes would there be left
On the plate for you?
Three!

(chorus)

If yesterday I had four fish
And I gave one away,
How many fish would there be left
In my tank today?
Three!

(chorus)

In a Nutshell (mean, median, mode)

2009-01-11T14:25:00.001-08:00

Suppose you have a set of data
That you want to explain.
It's a whole lot of data,
And to tell about it later,
You need to summarize it
In a nutshell.

Chorus
You can summarize your data
Using one of the three
Measures of central tendency.
You've got the MEAN,
You've got the MEDIAN,
You've got the MODE.
That's it in a nutshell.

Suppose you have a set of data
And you want to summarize it-
Characterize it
In a nutshell.
There are three measures you can use,
But be sure not to get them confused.

Chorus
You can summarize your data
Using one of the three
Measures of central tendency.
There's the MEAN, (the average)
The MEDIAN, (the middle)
And the MODE. (the number that occurs most often)

You don't want to bore your friends
With number after number.
They'd all begin to slumber
Long before you finished your report.
So here's what you do
To make a long, long story short:

Chorus
You can summarize your data
Using one of the three
Measures of central tendency.
There's the MEAN, (the average)
The MEDIAN, (the middle)
And the MODE. (the number that occurs most often)

But modes are funny, there can be more than one.
Or maybe you look and you find that there's none.
And if no two numbers are exactly alike,
Then there is no mode that you can use to summarize.

Chorus
You can summarize your data
Using one of the three
Measures of central tendency,
There's the MEAN, (the average)
The median, (the middle)
And the mode. (if there is one)

So use the MEAN,
Or use the MEDIAN,
Or use the MODE. (if there is one)
That's central tendency
In a nutshell!

No Equal Sign (expressions)

2009-01-11T14:24:00.002-08:00

There are facial expressions, like a frown and a grin.
(a frown and a grin now, a frown and a grin)
They show you what mood somebody is in.
(somebody is in now, somebody is in)
But expressions in math have numbers and signs,
Signs like PLUS, MINUS, DIVIDED BY, and TIMES . . .
But they never have an equal sign.

Chorus
No, they never have an equal sign, (equal sign)
They never, ever have an equal sign. (equal sign)
Expressions have numbers, numbers and signs,
But they never, ever have an equal sign.
Write an expression for the math situation,
Do the operations!

Math expressions, there are two different kinds.
(two different kinds now, two different kinds)
NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS have numbers and signs.
(numbers and signs, operational signs)
You can write an expression to show the situation;
To find the value, then you do the operations . . .
But they never have an equal sign.

Chorus
But expressions never have an equal sign, (equal sign)
They never, ever have an equal sign. (equal sign)
They have letters and numbers, numbers and signs,
But they never, ever have an equal sign.
Write an expression for the math situation,
Do the operations! Oh, yeah!

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS are super-cool,
(you're no fool, you know they're super-cool)
Because a letter stands in for your variable.
(the mystery number, the variable)
To evaluate it, here's what to do,
Replace the variable with a number you choose.
To find the value, then you do the operations . . .

Chorus
But expressions never have an equal sign, (equal sign)
They never, ever have an equal sign. (equal sign)
They have letters and numbers, numbers and signs,
But they never, ever have an equal sign.
Write an expression for the math situation,
Do the operations!

Numerical expressions, (like four plus three)
Algebraic expressions, (like four plus d)
Numerical expressions, (like four plus three)
Algebraic expressions. (like four plus d)

Same Shape, Same Size (similar and congruent figures)

2009-01-11T14:24:00.001-08:00

Big square, small square.
Two squares, the same shape.
The figures are similar. (Similar, same shape.)
Are they both the same size? (Not necessarily!)
Similar, same shape. (Only the same shape.)

Big square, big square.
Same shape, same size.
The figures are similar. (Similar, same shape.)
Are they both the same size? (Yes, they have to be!)
Same shape, same size-that's congruent,
Now you know what you're doing!

All congruent figures are similar,
But not all similar figures are congruent.
To be congruent, first they must be similar-
Same shape (Same shape)
But also the same size. (Same shape, same size.)
They can be in a different position-
A translation, reflection, or rotation. (But they have to be)
Same shape, same size-that's congruent,
Now you know what you're doing!

Small circle, big circle.
Two circles, same shape.
The figures are similar. (Similar, same shape.)
Are they both the same size? (Not necessarily!)
Similar, same shape. (Only the same shape.)

Small circle, small circle.
Same size, same shape.
The figures are similar (Similar, same shape.)
Are they both the same size? (Yes, they have to be!)
Same shape, same size-that's congruent,
Now you know what you're doing!

Same shape, similar.
Same shape, same size-that's congruent,
Now you know what you're doing!

Hopping on the Number Line (integers)

2009-01-11T14:23:00.002-08:00

Chorus
Integers, integers,
They're the set of whole numbers and their opposite numbers.
You can show them on a number line.
You can add and subtract them on a number line,
Hopping on the number line (Hop! Hop!)
Hopping on the number line.

A two with a positive sign before it is a positive integer.
How do we say it? "Positive two."
Its absolute value is two,
Because it's two units from zero,
Hopping on the number line.

A two with a negative sign before it is a negative integer.
How do we say it? "Negative two."
Its absolute value is two,
Because it's two units from zero,
Hopping on the number line.

Repeat chorus.

Positive two and negative two are opposite integers.
They each have the same absolute value,
Their absolute value is two, (two)
They're the same distance from zero,
Hopping on the number line.
(But in opposite directions!)

You start at zero
To add on a number line.
Hop to the right to show a positive,
(a number with a positive sign)
Then hop to the left to add a negative.
(a number with a negative sign)
So, positive two
Plus negative three
Equals negative one.

And you start at zero
To subtract on a number line.
Hop to the left to show a negative,
(a number with a negative sign)
Then hop to the left to subtract a positive.
(a number with a positive sign)
So, negative two
Minus positive four
Equals negative six.
Oh, come on!

Repeat chorus.

Hopping on the number line.

The Mystery Number (value of variables)

2009-01-11T14:23:00.001-08:00

If you don't know all the numbers
When you write an expression,
A letter can stand for the missing information.
The variable-it's the mystery number.

Nine dogs in the waiting room at the vet's.
You know some information: (Nine!)
But in through the door come some cats. (Meow!)
How many cats? That's the variable-c for cats.

So how can you write the number of pets
In the waiting room now?
It's nine plus c,
Because you don't know the value of c-
How many cats?

Chorus
c is the unknown, unknown;
It's the missing information, the variable.
It's the mystery number.
If you don't know all the numbers
When you write an expression,
A letter can stand for the missing information-
The variable! It's the variable!

But if you know the values of the other numbers,
You can find the value of the variable.
Use a letter to stand for it in your equation,
And then do the math to find the information.

Dr. Boggs has eighteen treats. (Sit, Rover!)
He gives the treats to some dogs. (Woof!)
Each dog gets two treats, with none left over.
You know some information:
Eighteen treats, two treats each.
But how many dogs?

That's the variable, d for dogs.
You can do the math and it works out fine.
18 divided by 2 equals d,
So how many dogs get treats? (Nine.)

Chorus
d is the unknown, unknown;
It's the missing information, the variable.
It's the mystery number.
If you don't know all the numbers
When you write an equation,
A letter can stand for the missing information-
The variable!

It's the unknown, unknown,
It's the missing information, the variable.
It's the mystery number.
The variable!
Mystery number.
It's the variable!

I Repeat! (patterns)

2009-01-11T14:22:00.000-08:00

There are patterns in color, shape, and size;
Patterns in money and fractions.
You use them when you draw a repeating design,
And you use them in sequence of actions. (Like dancing!)

There are patterns in decimals, patterns in time,
In division and multiplication.
Patterns in rhythm, patterns in rhyme-
You know it's a pattern when you find the repetition. (Repetition!)

Chorus
I repeat!
What makes a pattern? A pattern repeats:
The pattern of the notes, the pattern of the beats,
The pattern of the words, the pattern of the rhythm-
The patterns in music, you can make a song with them.

Continue the pattern. A pattern is a tool.
Look for a pattern to find a rule.
Test the rule to make sure that it's true.
If it works, you can figure out the next term too. (Repetition!)

Look for patterns in the math you do.
Identify a pattern, and a problem can be very easy for you!
(Easy for you!)
Find the repetition, now!

Skip-count-by fours!
Four, eight, twelve, sixteen...
What's the next term?
(Twenty!)

Fractions!
One sixteenth, one eighth, one quarter...
What's the next term?
(One half!)

Decimals!
One tenth, three tenths, five tenths...
What's the next term?
(Seven tenths!)

Money!
Six cents, ten cents, fourteen cents...
What's the next term?
(Eighteen cents!)

Time!
Two fifteen, two thirty, two forty-five...
What's the next term?
(Three o'clock!)
It's time to rock!

Chorus
I repeat!
What makes a pattern? A pattern repeats:
The pattern of the notes, the pattern of the beats;
Fractions, decimals, money, and minutes-
It's easy to compute if it's got a pattern in it.
Repeat-repeat after me!

What makes a pattern? A pattern repeats.
(What makes a pattern? A pattern repeats.)
The pattern of the notes, the pattern of the beats.
(The pattern of the notes, the pattern of the beats.)
Patterns in division and multiplication.
(Patterns in division and multiplication.)
You know it's a pattern when you see the repetition.
(You know it's a pattern when you see the repetition.)
Repetition. (Repetition!)

Chorus
Patterns are everywhere, everywhere you look:
Patterns on your shirt and patterns in your book.
Patterns in math, patterns in art,
Patterns in the beat, in the beat of your heart.

Keeping It True (algebra)

2009-01-11T14:20:00.000-08:00

Hi! I'm your new mathematical pal.
My name is Al Gebra, but you can call me Al.
One math idea I can offer to you
Is how to make sure an equation stays true.
(Hey, Al, what's an equation?)
It's another name for a number sentence.
It states that two amounts are equal.

Draw a little line and another little line;
That's an equal sign.
(Yeah, I knew that.)
The amounts on both sides of the sign that you drew
Have to have exactly the same value,
Or else your equation can never, can never be true.

Three equals three. Three plus six equals nine.
These equations are true-they balance just fine.
Four equals five. Four times three equals eight.
These equations are false-the two sides do not equate.

(What do you have to do to keep the equation true?)

If one side gets changed,
Then the other side does too.
Add, subtract, multiply, or divide;
If you do it over here,
You've got to do the same thing on the other side.

Keeping it even, keeping it true.
If the left gets five added, the right gets five, too.
(Give me five!)
That will keep the equation true.

Chorus
Keeping it equal, keeping it true-
All we want to do is keep the equation true.
Keeping it even, keeping it fair-
If you do it over here,
You've got to do it over there.

Subtract three, subtract three-
If we take some from you, we have to take it from me.
If it's out of balance, that's unfair,
If you take from here, you've got to take from there.

Out of balance, that's not right.
If you do it on the left,
Then you've got to do it on the right.
(Mom! Now he has more than me!)

Add four, add four-
You don't add less, and you don't add more.
If you multiply one side times ten,
Do it over there, and you're equal again.

Repeat chorus. (2 times)

Keeping it true, uh huh, keeping it true.
You know I'm keeping it true.

Make Change (money)

2009-01-11T14:19:00.000-08:00

How many cents in a penny? (One!)
Nickel? (Five!)
Dime? (Ten!)
Quarter? (Twenty-five!)
Half dollar? (Fifty!)
Isn't that nifty?
Make change!
Yeah, we're going to make some change.

Our family had a yard sale.
We sold all kinds of stuff-
Toys we had outgrown,
And toys we didn't use enough.

I sold a little puzzle
To Mrs. Johnson's daughter.
The price was seventeen cents,
But she handed me a quarter.
Make change!
You've got to make some change.

Count on from seventeen:
Penny, penny, penny
Makes eighteen, nineteen, twenty;
Add a nickel for five cents more,
And that makes change from twenty-five.

Gordy saw a hockey stick
Leaning on the fence.
The stick only cost a quarter,
But Gordy gave me fifty cents.
Make change!
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Come on, you all!

Count on from twenty-five:
Nickel, nickel, nickel,
That's thirty, thirty-five, forty,
Add a dime, that's ten cents more-
Change from fifty cents for Gordy.

Tiffany wanted an action figure
With sixty-three cents on the sticker.
She handed me a dollar bill,
And I made change even quicker!
Make change!
Uh! Come on!

Count on from sixty-three:
Penny, penny, makes sixty-five,
Add a nickel more, that's seventy;
Dime, dime, dime, that's a dollar.
Stand up and holler-
I can make change!

How many cents in a penny? (One!)
Nickel? (Five!)
Dime? (Ten!)
Quarter? (Twenty-five!)
Half dollar? (Fifty!)
Isn't that nifty?
You can make change!

(Thanks for coming to our yard sale.
Have fun with your toy!)

Sally Had a Birthday Cake

2009-01-11T14:17:00.004-08:00


(chorus)	When you have a lot and I have a little, That isn't very fair. I think the same for each of us Is a better way to share.
	Sally had a birthday cake. She wanted to serve ten. If she cut it in ten pieces, What would happen then? (chorus)
	Jonah had a pizza To share with me and you. If he cut it in six pieces, Would we each get two? (chorus)

Measure and Measure (measurement)

2009-01-11T14:17:00.003-08:00

(chorus)	I can measure and measure Whatever I choose, But it makes a big difference Which ruler I use.
	My pencil is eight inches. My crayon is only four. My chair is sixteen inches wide. Do you think yours is more? (chorus)
	With a centimeter ruler I measure the same way, But the measurements are greater Than the inch ruler would say. (chorus)

What Am I? (solid figures)

2009-01-11T14:17:00.001-08:00


(chorus)	Sphere or cylinder, cube or cone. What am I? How do you know? Sphere or cylinder, cube or cone. What am I? How do you know?
	I'm a circle at one end. I'm pointed at the other. I hold ice cream when turned one way. I'm a hat when turned another. A cone! (chorus)
	I can roll because I'm round, Whether I am big or small. If I'm full of air, you bounce me, And then I'm called a ball. A sphere! (chorus)
	I can stack, and I can roll. I can even slide. I have circles at both ends, And I'm rounded on the side. A cylinder! (chorus)
	I have flat, straight sides That are all just the same, I look like a square-shaped box. Can you guess my name? A cube! (chorus)

Pennies, Nickels, Dimes

2009-01-11T14:16:00.003-08:00

(chorus)	Five pennies in a nickel. Two nickels in a dime. Four quarters in a dollar. I'm saving all the time.
	I have a little piggy bank. I'm saving for a bike. I'm raking leaves for quarters. That's a job I like. (chorus)
	My sister wants some roller skates, So she saves every penny. She stacks them up and counts by ten Because she has so many. (chorus)

Ten Tens (tens)

2009-01-11T14:16:00.001-08:00

(chorus)	Ten tens are a hundred, And each ten has a name. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty. The order's always the same.
	I dump out all my pennies And pile them up by ten. Each time I get to a hundred. I have a dollar again. (chorus)
	Counting dimes is better. There's a dollar in each pile. But to save enough to buy a bike Will take me quite a while. (chorus)

What Am I? (solid figures)

2009-01-11T14:13:00.000-08:00

(chorus)	Sphere or cylinder, cube or cone. What am I? How do you know? Sphere or cylinder, cube or cone. What am I? How do you know?
	I'm a circle at one end. I'm pointed at the other. I hold ice cream when turned one way. I'm a hat when turned another. A cone! (chorus)
	I can roll because I'm round, Whether I am big or small. If I'm full of air, you bounce me, And then I'm called a ball. A sphere! (chorus)
	I can stack, and I can roll. I can even slide. I have circles at both ends, And I'm rounded on the side. A cylinder! (chorus)
	I have flat, straight sides That are all just the same, I look like a square-shaped box. Can you guess my name? A cube! (chorus)

Ten and Something More (numbers 11-20)

(chorus) When I run out of fingers,
I'll count up my toes,
Start with 10. Count some more.
That's how it goes.

Eleven is ten and one more.
Twelve is ten and two.

The Red Ones Go (sorting)

2009-01-11T14:04:00.000-08:00

(chorus) When I sort things by color,
Here's how it's done.
I group them together
One by one.

The red ones go with the red ones.
The blue ones go with the blue.
The green ones go with the green ones,
And the yellow ones have a place, too.

(chorus) When I sort things by sizes,
Here's how it's done.
I group them together
One by one.

The big squares go with the big squares.
The small squares go with the small.
The mediums go with the mediums
Until I've sorted them all.

(chorus)
