About ten minutes ago, with the help of my talented class, we wrote a new multiplication song. My students told me they were still struggling with their nines times tables, although we learned a few other strategies earlier in the year. This is what we came up with:
When the Cats Go Meowing In
(To the Tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In”)
Oh when the cats
Go meowing in
Oh when the cats go meowing in
Well, nine lives is their luuuucky number
When the cats go meowing in
Oh 9, 18
27
Oh, 36 and 45
54, 63, 72
And 81 go meowing in
**There’s 90 now**
Soon to come: our first music video!
