**VIDEO OT- new math rap!


You may have noticed from my sig that mathematics plays a big role in my life, but you may not realize how big : )

Each year for the last 5 years, I have written and performed a math rap for my students, and the last two years I've started making full blown music videos for them. Please take a minute to watch- I think you'll really enjoy it :smilegrin:

PLUS! If you watch until the end you will see a cameo by my PL kite buggy which did double duty as a camera dolly for the rolling shots in the vid :singing:

The video is in HD if you click through to YouTube, and it is definitely enabled for mobile devices (Cheezy)

HD Link: http://youtu.be/2z75rJm8Q_U?hd=1

Mwwaaahaahaaa I won the video battle :lol:

Thanks so much everyone for the great comments! I worked really hard on this one and all my kite buggy video editing skills I've developed over the winter definitely showed in the final product.

Drew- yeah you might be right- I think of myself as more of a nerd than a dork, but a really COOL nerd! :cool:

Actually the kids LOVE it- I've never heard of any student saying anything less than positive, and most get really into it. On the last day of school I perform the rap live during the lunch periods and I get huge crowds (couple hundred students or more) for each show. They think it's great. I'm not sure about the principal, I don't know that she has much of an appreciation for hip hop ;)
