Just when you thought it was safe to start reading this blog again, I go and make ANOTHER math song post. I won’t write a rhyme though. It seems straightforward and simple, but counting backward is a difficult skill for most kids. It’s nearly as hard as saying your alphabet backwards, which many adults struggle with. This song from have fun teaching’s musical genius puts that skill into a couple minute routine to practice. Give it a try!

Can you believe we made it? You endured twelve awful posts with horrible rhymes, although I did kind of like number eleven. Sometimes it’s hard to write interesting things about a topic, just like it’s often hard to make a topic interesting when you teach. That’s why I tried to have fun with it. I’m sure your students appreciate the silly and absurd approach sometimes, too. Anyway, after you see this final post about skip-counting songs, I hope you really do check out all the math songs on have fun teaching…

Twelve is such a hard word to rhyme.
But twelve is so common in time.
Twelve is such a hard word to use.
But twelve can be quite a muse!

Only one more! We’re on eleven. Read this and then flee to have fun teaching’s great song catalog.

Little Johnny had no idea about eleven.
But his teacher said it was merely four and seven!
Oh, said Johnny with a smile for Ms. Blevin,
I guess I do know eleven!

We’re almost done? I can’t believe these have gone by so fast. I know you’ll miss the silliness when it’s all gone. So the number ten, is it? I’m sure have fun teaching put that number to a fancy beat. Check it out after you read my rhyme…

Ten monks sat in perfect zen.
Ten artists inscribed them with pen.
Ten cameras snapped shots of them all just then!

Continuing my series of posts on skip-counting songs, I’m writing a short lyric about the number 3 this time. Keep in mind that the songs you’re going to get from have fun teaching are much better than my distracting words! I’m just trying to keep things fresh here, and it might be good to challenge your students to write number songs, too!

Meep, meep, we’re three streets away!
Beep, beep, been stuck in traffic all day!
Bleep, bleep, move that car out of the way!
Whew. Guess I should watch what I say.

In honor of the start of a series of posts on numbers, I will make a silly rhyme about the number one. Look for more poor attempts at rhyming to come, one for each number from 1 to 12.

There once was one honey bun,
Lacking in glaze, for it had none.
But that was enough for one old nun,
Who had given up on sugar for a season.
