Area of a Triangle Rap
Create Your Own
In groups of 1 to 4, create a song, rap, poem, skit, or music video that will help students understand how to find the area of a triangle! It must be at least a minute long and all lyrics or scripts must be turned in. We will be performing these in front of the class.
Learning Targets:
I can apply my knowledge of triangles to create a song.
I can apply and understand the formula for a triangle.
I can define definitions and characteristics of triangles.
Narrative:
For those students who love music or love a good laugh, this rap will help them remember how to find the area of a triangle! Many students are able to recite lyrics after lyrics of their favorite songs, so having the students listen to a catchy song about the unit may allow for the rules and formulas of triangles stick in their brains. Memorizing formulas and procedures can be a very difficult task for many students to do, but having them in a rap may make it easier.
