"Slope Intercept" Modified –
(Lyrics – 1994 FCTM Convention Tune - "Barney" or “This Old Man”) We have m We have b We have slope – intercept family, With the slope intercept Formula today. We can graph lines any day. Twinkle Writing
Tune – “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” by June Blackwell Twinkle, twinkle little star, When in math, writing goes far, Take the quest to set it right, Oh my gosh, you’ll be so bright, When in class just write it down, Twinkle, twinkle Little Star. Graphing Functions
(NCCTM Math Convention) Tune – “Allouette” Graphing functions, joyfully graphing functions. Graphing functions on my calculator. Do you do a linear? Yes I do a linear? Stretch it up; flip it down. You can shift it all around. Chorus Do you do a square? Do you do a cube? Do you do absolute value? Do you do square roots? Do you do greatest integer? "Standard Form"
(Lyrics by Caroline King & Kathy Myron Tune - "Jingle Bells”) Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 This quadratic’s in standard form. Solve it and be a hero. |
Macerana Tune
(NCCTM Math Convention) When you divide by a negative number Turn that sign around (repeat) Verse 2 – “divide” = “times”. Lines
Lyrics & Performance by Vicki Young – Melody “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” There are four parts to every line, You must remember these. Points, slope, equation, graph, And keep them separate, please! Chorus Chorus – With one point here and one point there, Here a point, there a point, everywhere a point, point. Graphing lines is like child’s play, so let’s graph some today! Oblique lines have x and y. The slope gives rise and run Just solve for y to start the graph, Use slope to make it fun! Chorus A vertical line, like x = 3, Has slope that’s UNDEFINED. Plot 3 on the x-axis and draw the graph, An UP and DOWN line. Chorus Y = 5 is a horizontal line. The slope is ZERO, you see. Plot 5 on the y-axis and draw the line, SIDE to SIDE it will be. Chorus Quadratics
Tune – “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” I'm dreaming of a quadratic, just like the one in our textbook Where solutions caper across the paper And make me think that I'm smart. I'm dreaming of a quadratic-And to myself each night I write 'May quadratics give you no fright-And may all your answers be right. |
