Preposition Song

(Sing going DOWN the columns to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”)

FANBOYS Song

(Sing to military cadence, “I don’t know but I’ve been told...”)

For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

Connecting sentences to and fro.

Sound off:

For, And

Sound off:

Nor, But

Sound off:

For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So!

Solving Equations Song

Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It

If you want to solve equations, here is how.

Read them with their operations, do it now.

Then UNDO them every time

By directions in this rhyme.

DO THE OPPOSITE. That’s what the rules allow.

If you read “MINUS,” then to solve them you must ADD.

If you say “PLUS” you must SUBTRACT or you’ll be sad.

Multiply will get undone

By DIVIDING every one.

And divide gets MULTIPLIED, or answer’s bad.

Oh, equations must stay balanced to be true.

WHAT YOU DO TO ONE SIDE YOU MUST DO TO TWO.

And to solve for the unknown

You must get it all alone

Using every single trick you know to do.
