Was it One Direction??
MathMinute has created a video so our One Direction fans, and others of course, can remember the Quadratic Formula. A little doesn't hurt when you're trying to get kids to remember a formula that will last from middle school up to college. The quadratic formula is another tool to find where the Parabola (derived from a quadratic equation) crosses the x-axis. One of the popular formulas that students will continue to use throughout their math secondary and college life.
If you're not familiar,
One of the best ways to get students to remember something is for them to learn through a jingle. One Direction has song called "One Thing" and MathMinute has created a song for the Quadratic Formula for students who need a beat.
Simply put, this strategy would be for students who like music and catchy beats. This is it. I would play this song while the students are walking into class to catch their attention. Once their attention is there, I will ask them to recite the quadratic formula to see if the jingle helped.
A link to the song is below....ENJOY!
