Description
This is a song about circles to the tune of "My House" by Flo Rida. My students and I sing this during our circles unit in geometry class. It includes the vocabulary and relationships of lines that go through circles, as well as area, circumference, arc length, sector area, and equations of circles. I also use it as a call and response when students get stuck and don't know what to do. My students have said it helps them remember on quizzes and tests. Music makes memory!
Here is the main chorus:
Circles – they go round
Tangent lines cross one point
Secants can go through it
Chords don't have to go out
Circles – they go round
Radius is half way
Diameter hits the center
But they don't have to go out
Circles – they go round
Circles – they go round
To use in your classroom, just search on YouTube for an instrumental version of "My House" by Flo Rida. Print copies of the song lyrics for students to read (I use a half sheet). Then hit “play” and just sing along to the instrumental version. You don't have to be good at it, as long as you are confident and the students see you having fun, they will catch on and start singing, too.
