6.RP.1 - Ratios (Inspired by Bruno Mars and Cardi B's 'Finesse' Remix)

In this energetic and fun song, Mr. Almeida and his students sing and dance about ratios. Inspired by the "Finesse" Remix by Bruno Mars and Cardi B, this song will definitely allow students to remember what a ratio is and how to write it.

"Ratios" Lyrics

Intro:
Math class is supposed to be fun!
Understanding ideas is how it's won.
Open up your ears, listen to this song.
And move along. You can't go wrong.

Verse 2:
It's time to get our math act together
Time to learn a new math concept right now
(What's it called?)
Don't be thrown off because its a new word
Go with the flow
It's called a ratio

(Wait, what did he say?)
(He said, "Ratio!")
And what does that mean?
(Better yet, where's it seen)
What does than mean? (I said what does it mean.)

It's a complex fraction
whose denominator isn't zero.
And it can be written 3 ways (Really?!)
That's right!

Chorus:
It's time math started making sense
And that's what Wu says
It's time you know what a ratio is:
a complex fraction
It's time math started making sense
And let's be precise
It's time you know what a ratio is:
a complex fraction.

Verse 2:
Now let's get back to what you just said.
A ratio can be written in 3 ways. (in 3 ways)
You can write it as a number "to" a number,
a number to a number using a colon.
What about the third way?
It's in fraction form.
Can I write anyway?
No you can't
because the order matters
when you're writing a ratio.
And one more important thing:
it's not commutative.

Chorus:
It's time math started making sense
And that's what Wu says
It's time you know what a ratio is:
a complex fraction
It's time math started making sense
And let's be precise
It's time you know what a ratio is:
a complex fraction.
