Included:
1. Metric System Music Video

Video Summary

Join us while we navigate around the beach-side in Metric City as we find lots of interesting items, both inside and outside, and determine about how long each item is. The song is so catchy, we worry your students may not be able to get it out of their heads - but we think that is the secret of this song's success! The song focuses on length, but also shows a few of examples of things that are weighed in grams and kilograms.

Shameless Sales Pitch

This song is going to be a huge success with your students. NUMBEROCK songs keep safely away from creating the run-of-the-mill math music that often makes teachers wince and students cringe. Use the song as a teaching aid during your rounding unit, or while you review for your SATS math revision towards the end of the school year.

We're so highly confident that our math music will be a real game changer in your classroom that if you aren't more than adequately satisfied with your purchase, we will enthusiastically refund your full purchase by contacting us at letsrockmath@gmail.com.

VIDEO SUMMARY

A millimeter you can understand,
Is about as long as a grain of sand.
When you buy food at lunchtime,
It's about the thickness of a dime.
A staple from side to side
Is about a centimeter wide.
A fingernail on a girl or guy
Is about a centimeter high.
10 Millimeters = 1 Centimeter
100 Centimeters = 1 Meter
1000 Meters = 1 Kilometer
And it's the same for grams and liters.
A schoolbus' diameter
Is about 1 meter.
And a meter is about as far,
As the length of a guitar.
10 soccer (football) fields in a row
About a kilometer you'll go.
It's about how far you walk
If you cross 12 city blocks.
Imagine holding a grain of sand
About a Millimeter
Or a marble in your hand
About a Centimeter
A door handle from the floor
About a Meter
A 10-minute walk on the shore
About a Kilometer
