I then went onto thinking about maths. At the moment Year 3 are doing a lot of work on number bonds and I'm trying different ways of trying to get them to see that if they know that 5 + 5 = 10 then that information can help them to know what 25 + 5 is etc.
So my mind started playing with rhythms and rhymes...
I'm going to use 2Simple Music to help make it sound funky - there's a part of it that will provide a pulse. This is what I'm going to try...hope it makes sense!
I'm thinking of it in 8 - 8 quite up tempo beats - of the 2Simple pulse and I shall teach it in 2 bits before I put the whole thing together. Hopefully it'll provide a great starter, be a learning aid and a memory aid for my class.
So - speaking the rhyme....
four add six is ten yeah, four add six -teen is twen - ty.
The 'teen' bit has a bit of funky sync to it as it goes across the beat.
I'm a bit stuck on the rest of the tens numbers because they each have 2 syllables - thirty, fifty, sixty etc instead of one syllable as in 'six'teen so it doesn't have the same funky sync as the teens.
I might do it straight in a very robotic style or a rap or change the number of beats...will see what I come up with on my next walk! I finding walking great for ideas and practising little rhythmic ideas such as this one...
