Last week we got a task to write a song/poem/dance/rap about decimals  (you could  do a rhyming song and dance at the same time) we all got rules which we had to do a song about. We had lots of fun.  Here a couple of the songs:

Song 1:  Our rule was dividing by 10 (we did it from our view):

When dividing by 10 take a jump to the left, (then we all jumped to our left), just 1 not 2 because if you do, your answer will not be true! Our decimal point then said, I’m a decimal point that cannot move, then we did jazz hands. It was lots of fun, and everyone enjoyed watching it!

.

Song 2: “When timesing by 100 just takeatakeatakea 2 jumps to the left, but you gotta mind the decimal point or you’ll go blind!” After that we all threw our paper with the numbers up. (Instead of jumping we passed our paper across so it was changing).

After, when we knew our songs completely and  had another practise, we showed them to the primary 6s, (we had a choice), they enjoyed it as well.

This was a very fun way of learning, and it was very helpful to our learning. Here are some photos of everyone:
