5 Math music videos to get you moving
Sometimes the internet just blows us away. Between the thousands of memes, Buzzfeed lists, and those quick-speed cooking videos all over our Facebook feeds, it’s never a dull moment. YouTube in particular is home to some pretty sweet content, including these HILARIOUS math parody music videos. Today, in our own version of the Much Music Video Awards, we’ve rounded up our favourites. If you’re in need of a little pre-homework pump-up, get into the zone with one of these videos. We promise they’ll have you calculating to the beat.
1. “It’s Just Math” - Frozen Let It Go Parody
Yes, Anna and Elsa love math. This song has an emphasis on geometry, which makes perfect sense, since Elsa’s frozen castle was basically constructed out of ICEsoceles triangles. (Pun, very much intended).
2. “Teach Me How to Factor” - Teach Me How to Dougie Parody
What’s better than catchy rap? How about a catchy MATH rap. This parody of “Teach Me How to Dougie” will actually teach you how to factor. So if you’re tired of staring at your notes from class, drop this beat in the background while you’re doing your homework and you’ll be a factoring pro in no time.
3. “All I Do is Solve” - All I Do is Win Parody
Ok huge shoutout to the WSHS math department for killing it with these videos. The same school who put together “Teach Me How to Factor” also has this gem of a song. “All I Do is Solve” focuses on solving equations, and it even goes through the three different methods, graphing, elimination and substitution!
4. “Slope” - Hello Parody
Ok so maybe this one is significantly cheesier than our other picks, but if you’re trying to learn slope, this parody of Adele’s “Hello” is pretty bang on. Also props to this teacher who clearly just really wanted to sing about mx + b.
5. Uptown Factors - Uptown Funk Parody
We’ll finish up on an upbeat note! This is another video about factoring, but this time featuring a slightly more recent chart topper with this parody of Uptown Funk. We’re obsessed with everything about this video - from the dance moves, to the outfits to the informative equations that pop up throughout! You won’t be able to help but sing along!
