The Math Awakens!

Hi Team!

Our math project for January is Music Videos.  We were inspired by the music video, "Long Division Style", to use a song we already know and change the lyrics to make a math song.  The goal is to take one or more concepts in math and teach them using a song.  Despite breaking into two separate groups, we both came up with Star Wars song to do.  We decided to join forces.  We will start with the Opening Theme and talk about all of the different types of math that we know of.  We will use "The Imperial March" to explain multi digit multiplication and long division (and whatever else we can think of.)
Coming up with math ideas!

Our imaginations hit hyperdrive today and we came up with everything from stormtroopers with math equations to Jedi that use math to solve the problems.  At one point we had 13 students in heated discussion about how to put math into Star Wars.  Or, should I say Math Wars.
Writing it all down.


If you are any good at writing lyrics, have some cool things we can use as costumes/props, or really good at video editing, please let me know!!  We can use all the help we can get.
