Fraction Rap

Fraction Rap (found on Teachertube)

I saw a fraction on my pizza one day
I saw a fraction on a sale
It was 1/4 off this and 1/2 off that
Made me one heck of a deal

When you're adding up or taking away
Fractions, don't be a hater
Bottom numbers gotta be the same
Common denominator
Bottom numbers gotta be the same
Common denominator

I gotta pass the test
I gotta make the grade
My fraction friend came to my aid
She said
Dividing fractions is easy as pie
Flip the second and multiply
Dividing fractions is easy as pie
Flip the second and multiply
Flip the second and multiply

Multiply fractions, no big problem
Top times top over bottom times bottom
Multiply fractions, no big problem
Top times top over bottom times bottom
Top times top over bottom times bottom

When you study smart, everybody wins
And know that fractions are your friends
