We Will Rock You!

Last week in Room 5 the students were learning about rounding:what it is, when it is useful and how to do it. Here is the song they sang to help them remember how to round to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, whole number or tenth.

    I LOVE that you have used the power of song and dance to share your learning in such a creative way. I think this will be a really good post to share with other learners to show them how you can get creative with math to share your learning. The 'We will round you' tune will definitely stay in my mind. Do you find yourself singing it as you are thinking in math OR maybe even just when it's not even math time? Keep up the great learning.

    WOW! What can I say? I love seeing students choosing creative ways to express mathematical concepts and this one ticks all the boxes. How much practice did you do? Did you write the lyrics as a class or did someone write them individually? This is a great short clip that not only you guys can learn from, but also something that will feed other people's learning. I can't wait to share the link far and wide.

    Thanks for sharing this on your class blog.

    1. Hi thank you for your kind comments James and Ms Burt. We found this song on youtube. We planed to use greenscreen and show the numbers being rounded behind us, but our class was too large. It did not take long to learn as we sang the song as part of our number knowledge warm up during Numeracy time.

    A really innovative way to use a video in maths and the greenscreen is great too. I like that the videos are very short - it makes them accessible for anyone. Do you think you could add some sound to the second video? Maybe someone reading the words?
