Lets Sing About Math...

Last night in class we had a special guest Dr. George Gadanidis from the University of Western Ontario who spoke to us about teaching mathematics through multimodal instruction. One of Dr. Gadanidis current projects is taking concepts and math and teaching them through music.

This has inspired me... No I refuse to sing to you however I will share with you different attempts that other people have made. http://www.songsforteaching.com/mathsongs.htm --this particular website brakes down the content by strand and concepts and offers a wide variety of different skill and grade level selections.

http://www.kidsknowit.com/educational-songs/index.php?topic=Math -- Not as many selections however this FREE website offers some really fun and exciting tunes!

From www.kidsknowit.com -- Can I download this song? Many of the songs featured on The KidsKnowIt Network are available to download. To do so, please visit the website of the artist whose song you would like to download. If the artist has a website, there will be a link to it in the center of the yellow educational music player.

My personal favourite is Fraction Rock
