The square boy missed out on four awesome chicks and it was all over by 2am." <br />I get a kick out of hearing them ask each other "How many awesome chicks were there?

A song that I created for introducing the concept and characteristics of quadratics went with the Justin Timberlake song "I'm brining Sexy Back" Instead I sing, "I bringing quadratics back...yep...that non-linear family knows how to act...yep, make an x/y chart and you'll be really smart...yep. <br /><br />On the graph...the shape looks like a little laugh...upside down and its a frown, and only quadratics has an x squared.<br /><br />Make and x/y chart, graph and be going, substitue x, graph and be going, find the y values, graph and be going, see the parabola... not the "para bola". <br /><br />Goofy I know, but kids always come back and tell me about how they remember that song so well. Just thought I would share... I have audio somewhere.<br /><br />I am going to try your dance steps to equations tomorrow!!<br /><br />Kelly D<br />Algebra IAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542724471702676307.post-34425140313192445842009-11-03T23:14:20.188-05:002009-11-03T23:14:20.188-05:00The face is nothing compared to the students' ...The face is nothing compared to the students' faces.
