sjiggag23 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Okay so i have this crazy math teacher. She teaches geometry and now wants us to make songs about geometry that she will force us to carol around my school during christmas time. :( (who said high school was fun?) Anyway, i need help creating such song. I already made a little of it, its to the tune of "Let it Snow." Please help, my teacher will rape each and every one of us if its not good. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaladis Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 songs about geometry huh?... ...yeah, your teacher's on drugs... And how are you supposed to make your own X-mas geometry songs? She must be out of her mind! /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay C Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 REPORT HER....HARASSMENT? rape eh? you could have her (not in *that* way) :p Naa, just make it up saying stuff like draw some graphs, draw some graphs, draw some graphs :&: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt74441 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'd drop the class. That kind of embarassment isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEMO.INC Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 The circle song I'ts the most round shape of geometry.... :&: :&: :santa: thats it, my brain can't stand lughing and composing at the same time I know it's bad but it's a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMT Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Just do the 12 days of christmas songs and in each line state a rule of thumb for geometry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porphyro Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 First of all...ignore everyone telling you to complain to your parents, principal, etc. Just do the assignment. The logic behind the assignment is that geometry is based on theorems - hence a lot of it is memorization. It has been proven that the human brain remembers music fairly well - and that is why she is pushing you to do the assignment. It WILL make it easier to remember such wonderful things as complimentary and supplementary angles. Not trying to be a jerk, but I blew off geometry when I went through it years ago. It made physics, chemistry, and advanced mathematics a lot harder later on. Now, I'll try to get you started... (Graphing in a ) 2-D wonderland - to the tune of (Walking in a) Winter Wonderland Rays and Lines Intesectin' On a plane That's cartesian We'll total with ease The sum of their degrees Graphing in a 2-D wonderland Repeat ad naseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdCViRus Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 :blink: :blink: :blink: in math you dont need to memorize - you need to understand yeah, i'd say report her, and do not do the damn assignment it's gonna be even funnier if nobody in the whole class does the assignment :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porphyro Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hmm... How much math have you had Cd? Sure, you need to understand the concepts - but in many disciplines (geometry being one) memorization is key. You need to know what the rules and theorems are to be able to understand how to use them. This isn't like differential equations, where you are learning a process - geometry is about the use of theorems - and the theorems need to be memorized. Like I said, don't be a baby and go running to complain to your mother or the principal. Suck it up, act like an adult, and do the freaking assignment. Its not like the teacher is ordering you to strip naked or anything. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostspyder Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 haha my AP calc teacher had a whole crap load of math songs and we used to sing em instead of working. Embarasment is usless. It is the stupidest of all human emotion, and from the outside it wont be even as remotly embarasing ass you think it will be. Anyone that woulnt want to be your freind or what not because of this i doubt youd realy want as a freind, unless she has realy big hohas :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdCViRus Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Porphyro, sure you need to memorize thrms, but JUST memorizing them wont get you far, even in geometry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 It's not uncommon to use mnemonics in education, infact I'm sure all of us know at least one thing that we learned by mnemonics, for example: In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue Every Good Boy Does Fine (Piano Notes EGBDF) Thirty days hath September... (Days in each month) Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (Algebra Calculations) Righty tighty, lefty loosie (Screwing unscrewing etc) Spring ahead, Fall back (Dayligt savings time) One that would work well for you had you thought of it and should at least give you a good idea of where you should go from here: (Oh Christmas Tree) Oh isosceles, oh isosceles Two angles have Equal degrees Oh isosceles, oh isosceles You look just like A Christmas tree Certainly remembering is an important part of learning, it's important to remember for example that a negative times a negative equals a positive (If you've seen Stand and Deliver I guarantee you remember that) and of course it's important to understand what it means. Bottom line is that it's very common to use mnemonics and if you knew so much about teaching you'd be the teacher and not the student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porphyro Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Cd, Now where did I say that understanding WASN'T important - or that I was advocating JUST memorizing them. In many situations, the understanding is more important than the memorization. And there are instances where you need to memorize to different degrees (history for example, doesn't require the same level of memorization as chemistry - or at least shouldn't). What I AM advocating is for the original poster to do the freaking assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
