| Students learn with visual and physical activity. Mr. Campbell is making a shot in the upper photo. Mr. F and Mr. C. on RIGHT .>>>>> are explaining a calculation with 9 balls per layer. How many boxes will fill the volume under the tables in the room? Mr. McCrea (mc CRAY) holds a CD as an example of what the future textbook will look like... |

| Some of my students are from other countries. You can see some of my worksheets at English for a Successful Life (ESL) |
| Most multiplication tables don't go beyond 12 x 12. Here's a table that goes to 20 x 20 We like to call it "The Largest Multiplication Table in Florida"... where is the biggest one in the world? |

| Gym Math Rap The Fraction-to-Percent Rap Change from Fraction to Percent You start with a fraction (I'll tell you every action) You've got to go to percent It's dollars on the top People on the bottom Dollars on the top People on the bottom How many cents for each? (I know that's why I teach) Step one: change the dollars to cents. Step 2: share the cents with the peeps. Step three: add the percent sign (that's the slanted line!) ---> % Now let's go Percent to Point (decimal). Start with percent LEFT, LEFT, drop the point. The decimal is an animal Don’t let it bite! Start with percent LEFT, LEFT, drop the point. The decimal is an animal Don’t go right! 50 percent goes oh point five. 20 percent goes o point two. One percent goes oh point oh 5 percent goes oh point oh five. That’s how you keep alive! FROM DECIMAL TO PERCENT When you got a point What's the percent? The Pythagoras Rap (the 3-4-5 poem) Every test has three, four, five Or it might be six, eight, ten This tip will keep you alive The short side goes with 3 It can be 6 or 30 or 33 The middle side goes with 4 It can be 8 or 40 or 44 The long side goes with 5 It can be 10 or 50 or 55 The Greeks looked at circles a love time ago They looked at THRU and AROUND. If you go through the Diameter is for you If you go outside they call it circumference it's the perimeter of the "o" You don't need a parent-teacher conference you just gotta say, "I know!" Radius is Half way That's all you have to say When the area is what you need. I can give you diameter and ask you for area and you will start to read. The area is R times R It's not too far! And then you need some pie. Not the kind you eat but P - I and no "E" It's three point one four but you can call it THREE. If the Across is ten The radius is five The area is five times five times pi And you got about seventy five. The around is ten times three and they call it circumference. It's the circle's perimeter But math guys want a conference if you call it "the around." |
| 2 over 5 2 2 dollars _ = __________ 5 5 people = 200 cents _________ 5 people = 40 cents each person = 40 percent (40%) |
| CIRCLE is 10 cm across so the AROUND is 3.14 x 10 = 31.4 |
| We left one of the columns empty... can you guess? |
