My kids always struggle with rational and irrational numbers.
For some reason they can't decide if a number should be rational
or irrational. They think because it's a decimal or it repeats, it is
irrational. So because of this, I decided to write a song that they
could sing to help them remember.
Soooooo....imagine One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful
while you sing this song. Here's a link to the song I would
Really pleased with how it turned out, but please let me know if
you think I should change anything!!I will try to have my kids
sing it next week, when I do I will make a recording of it! :)
What Makes You Rational
You’re insecure
Don’t know what for
You’re turning heads when your written on pa-a-per.
Don’t need to go, on and on.
Ending the way that you do is enough.
[Bridge]
Everyone else in the room can see it
Your number is a clue.
[Chorus]
Baby you can repeat like nobody else
The way that you terminate gets me overwhelmed.
But when you’re in a fraction it ain’t hard to tell.
You don’t know oh oh.
You don’t know you’re rational.
If only you saw what I could see
You’d understand why your pattern is a necessity.
Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe
You don’t know oh oh, you don’t know your rational.
Oh oh
That’s what makes you rational.
So c-come on. You’ve got it wrong.
To prove you’re not irrational I’ll sing this so-o-ong.
I don’t know why, you wanna be like pi
If you didn't have a pattern, you’d make us cry-y-y.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na [x2]
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na [x2]
Baby you can repeat like nobody else.
The way that you terminate gets me overwhelmed
But when your in a fraction it ain’t hard to tell
You don’t know oh oh, you don’t know you’re rational.
[Chorus]

So, did your students sing it? Any video? I would love to see it!
