I'm used to never ceding control of the class for an instant. But he tells me, sometimes you've just got to throw control over to them while you take some time to get your stuff together. You can't be ready to go all the time. The self-time-out is another good take on it. <br /><br />Anyway, the real purpose of my visit is to share with you some Pharell lyrics I'm working on. It gets a little off-topic at the end ... And it's not really covering what we're talking about in my Pre-Algebra class, and that's the class of mine that most needs to do this song-making activity, so I don't know if I'm going to use any of it myself. But I definitely wanted to share.<br /><br />Mathy<br />It might be crazy what I’m ‘bout to say<br />But that formula is negative b over 2a<br />It’s a vertical line in your 2D space<br />It gives symmetry to parabolas yeah every day<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you feel that formula is the truth<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you feel you can show it with a proof<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you know you could plug in negative two<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you’re down, ‘cause that’s what we’re gonna do<br />Here comes negative boy, he doesn’t know<br />Should he go to a radical party, yes or no, yeah<br />When he got there he lost four amazing chicks, yeah<br />And they all stayed up past 2 a.m.. doing tricks<br />Because they’re mathy<br />Clap along if you know the quadratic formula<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you see it helps you to solve parabolas,<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you know how to find a,b,&c<br />Because you’re mathy<br />Clap along if you know that y=mx+b<br />Darko Mittmerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277138678915717582noreply@blogger.com
