    What You Know About Math? – Middle School

    Posted by admin on August 6th, 2009 and filed under middle school | 25 Comments »

    A parody of T.I.’s “What You Know” meant to entertain and inspire math fans!

    Filmed and edited by teaching staff and students from Bohannon Middle School in San Lorenzo, California in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008.

    (With mad props to the inspiration of TI-84 Ft. -E, the YouTube “What You Know About Math” originators!)

    Lyrics…

    What You Know About Math?

    Aye..aye..aye..aye.
    What you know about math? (x3)
    What you know…

    I represent BMS when I add, divide and subtract
    Low-riding sack where I’m holdin’ all my work at
    What you know about math? (x3)
    I know all about math

    Answers 44, real easy, it’s a sig fig
    You got 45, you rounded high, your answer’s too big
    What you know about math? (x3)
    Hey I know all about math

    Got my calculator, new and clean, it’s shining bright G
    Extra paper, yo, cuz I gotta show my work, see

    You know we multiply, while memorizing pi
    Prime factor to the sky, be sure to simplify

    Grab the utility, it’s Algebra to me
    Twenty questions on the test now, don’t you go and cheat off me

    Distance is rate times time, measured in a straight line
    Exponents hecka fine, what’s your score, can’t beat mine

    Equations balance right, same step on either side
    Inverse operations — get ya closer to the finish line

    Use GEMDAS all the time, expressions simplify
    If you use half your mind, then you can solve it every time

    I can solve math problems with my SuperPowered math mind
    Beating down equations like a Full Throttle Einstein
    What you know about math? (x3)
    I know all about math

    There’s some things you gotta know, to be a math pro
    Time to drop some fundamental knowledge in you head bro
    What you know about math? (x3)
    Yo, I know all about math

    An average is a mean, add together everything
    Then divide by how many numbers – Measure Central Tendency

    Exponents groups thing quick, product-power working slick
    If base is 6, exponent 4, then 6 times 6 times 6 times 6

    Take a circle, make a line, across the middle, touch each side
    Diameter is what you’ve made, a radius is half that line

    And if you take the dare, ‘circ’ area you can prepare
    Three point one-four equals pi, so area is pi-r-squared

    A circle’s like a ring, Perimeter goes ’round the thing
    I call him ‘Sir-Cumference’, C, he equals pi times d

    Triangle’s corner’s square, hypotenuse across from there
    Pythagoras he got it right, a-squared plus b-squared is c-squared

    Roll up in the hood, mathematics makin’ good sense
    We’ll be future rollas with math skills we’ll do mad business
    What you know about math? (x3)
    Yo, I know all about math

    Calculator’s too slow, skills that make my brain grow
    Work mad mathrobatics like a laser with a mojo
    What you know about math? (x3)
    Yo, I know all about math

    You know about me dogg, they talk about me dogg
    And if you doubt my product, check the work that’s in my log

    Those notes you take in class, they help you finish fast
    My answer, it will last, I double-checked, it’s clear as glass

    And fractions are my friends, we been around the bend
    I learned to decompose, and now I am the boss of them

    Integers, you got to know, don’t wanna bite ya bro
    Battles and Teamwork, yo, add and watch those numbers grow

    And when you must subtract, integers can seem so wack
    But Add the Opposite and your mad skills will have your back

    Some people playa hate, cuz I can calculate
    About to graduate, Yo, I’m getting many dates

    I represent BMS when I add, divide and subtract
    Low-riding sack where I’m holdin’ all my work at
    What you know about math? (x3)
    I know all about math

    Answers 44, real easy, it’s a sig fig
    You got 45, you rounded high, your answer’s too big
    What you know about math? (x3)
    Hey I know all about math
