Super Base (WSHS Math Rap Song)
This one is for the students learning exponents
I will show you in a way so it just makes sense
When it comes up on a test, yo don't be afraid
Listen to my rhymes, and you'll be saved
The rules, they cool, don't be a fool Ya just gotta listen to your teachers in school It's time, now, to have some fun If you raisin to a zero, then the answer is one
Raisin to a one, one, the problem is a done, done When you use a two, two, I'll tell you what to do, do You multiply the number by itself ya know You just squared a number if you feel my flow
You say, excuse me what if it's a three or four? I mean five, six, seven, or maybe something more You just, take the base then look up high The number is the times you need to multiply Yes I did, yes I did, somebody please tell em who the heck I is I am Miss Kearnes, I hit the math up, back my work up, and chuck the deuce up
Hey we got that base multiplying away Showin how to write it, another way You can use ex pon, pon pon pon pon, pon pon pon ponents You put them on the base Use ex pon, pon pon pon pon, pon pon pon ponents You put them on the base You can use ex pon, pon pon pon pon, pon pon pon ponents (We using exponents) Use ex pon, pon pon pon pon, pon pon pon ponents (We using exponents)
This one is for the boys tryin to multiply Got the same base, maybe different up high Write the bases out, then count them all Your new exponent is the total
This one's for the girls trying to work a divide You got factors down low and some up high You just gotta break up each group, and put em in a loop Then simplify to ones, ones
Excuse me, we got one more rule If there's a power of a power, don't look like a fool I mean, sigh, just give it a try You take your exponents and multiply Yes I did, yes I did, somebody please tell em who the heck I is I am Miss Kearnes, I hit the math up, back my work up, and chuck the deuce up
There's a negative exponent in your way No, no, no, no, no, no it can't stay Flip it over the bar, yeah that's the way Hey we got that base multiplying away We're showing how to write it, another way Oh it be like ex pon, pon pon pon pon pon pon pon ponents You can use that ex pon, pon pon pon pon pon pon pon ponents
