Mr. Edmond sings a good song about the difference between Mass and Weight. He actually has a nice voice. He holds up signs so that you can karaoke along with him. I think I am going to try and karaoke with a couple of students about mass and weight. Should be fun.

Try this word problem with your students to see if they can solve the word problem given in this movie, "Little Big League." This video is sure entertaining and mathematically funny.
Levin Intermediate School in New York had a couple of math classes
create a math video as a parody of the Gangnam Style song. The topic

Here is a very catchy tune for those students who are trying to learn
about the slope-intercept form "y=mx + b". This video was created by a
teacher and her math students. Trust me when I say that the formula
will stick in their brain after listening to it. The song is sung to
the music of the Village Peoples "YMCA" tune.
