Rihanna is helping my students learn to appreciate math. We were approximating square roots the other day and all of a sudden, Tiffany yelled, "I get it. Now I know why she says the square root of 69 is 8 something." I'm glad I found a way to relate math to their real lives.
(And no, we weren't finding the square root of 69--I'm not that insane!)

One of my friends taught her class the formula for slope by using a lyrics that were put the song "Low." She found it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyfpM-ruafo&feature=related
A teachable moment indeed! I love it. Just found this blog. Thank you for taking the time to share so much.
You know this is a dirty joke, right?
Yes I did. That is why I never use 69 in my classes. I just thought it was funny how the girl related math to it.
