Similar Figures- YMCA
This song helps students set up proportions to determine if two figures are similar. IT reviews that similar figures do not have to be the same size, but they have proportional sides and equal angles. It talks about matching sides (corresponding sides) and seeing if the proportions are equal.

Jingle Bells- Equations
This song tells the main points of solving one-step equations. It says to get x by itself, do the opposite operations to solve for x. It is quick and easy for anyone to learn. We went caroling when my students learned this song. :)

Teaching style
I am not your typical math teacher. My style completely involves engaging students through real life situations and music. I write lyrics and teach to their mind. The way adults understand things is based on years of experience that most pre-teens have not encountered. However, this age knows all the words to the latest Taylor Swift or LMFAO song- so music has been a huge success in my classroom and my test scores and retention are a direct reflection of this style of teaching. It is not the only thing I do and I do not yet have a song for every concept- but I am working on it.
I firmly believe that you have to have the structure, classroom management, and buy in from the kids to incorporate music in the classroom. If you have passion- they will follow. Set it up right and it will end up right.
