Math+Poems

To help understand the concepts learned in class, students are required to write poems about maths content and processes, or just about maths feelings.

Here are some examples of what is expected:

Adding Two Fractions
Is really quite simple And much less painful than popping a pimple! If we’re lucky The bottoms are already equal Common denominators! Add the tops in a sequel And there’s your result. Oh, oooh no! The bottoms aren’t the same number This might hurt Oh dear, what a bummer! ‘It’s still easy’ claims Ms.Maggie Find the L.C.D. (lowest common denominator) And make those bottoms equal Then, if you change the bottom, you must change the top! Then add the new tops in a sequel. The answer must be simplified? Divide the top and bottom By the same number From top to bottom And bottom to top. I got it, I got it!**
 * Adding two fractions

Fraction-by-Fraction Multiplication
Works by Dividing numerators and denominators By The common factors of the two
 * Fraction-by-fraction multiplication

But be careful: Don’t cross out denominator and denominator Or numerator and numerator You must go top to bottom Or bottom to top!

In the end find the product Of the Numerator and numerator. Then find the product Of the Denominator and denominator

Now you know How to find The product of Fraction-by-fraction Multiplication.**
