RAPS & RHYMES IN MATHS

by Ann Baker (Compiler), Johnny Baker (Compiler)

Children enjoy chanting to a rhythm, clapping to a beat, and improvising to match their own particular experience. Thus, rhymes and stories can play an important role in the learning process, especially in the process of learning mathematics. Raps and Rhymes in Maths is a collection of traditional and modern rhymes, riddles, and stories with mathematical themes. They can be used to provide a welcome break from more formal activities or they can form the introduction or conclusion of a mathematics lesson. They can provide openings for mathematical investigations and, most important, they are a source of enjoyment.
