Multiplication Songs

Multiplication Songs
===============

These will be gone through during the pre-assembly programmes. We'll be singing these songs over the next term for P1 and P2. Multiplication is covered in Term 3 and in P2, but these are just songs they can sing to inculcate an awareness of Mathematics language.

Enjoy! ~



Here are the lyrics....

Track 1 (Number song)
I have got a niche in numbers no matter what you say
I have got a niche in numbers and it is going to stay in that way.
I have got a niche in numbers and so do you
Every one of us here has a niche in numbers too
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I can count in units, tens, hundreds and thousands
I can count to ten thousands, hundreds thousands,
I can count to millions, billions and trillions
All the way to zillions cos they are finite numbers too.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Who can get into the universe, is it infinity?
Walking along the number line you never reach the end
Draw two parallel lines all in all
If you keep on trying, maybe they meet at infinity.

I know what is addition – is putting together
I know what is subtraction – is taking away
I know what is multiplication – is adding equal numbers
I know what is division – is sharing equally

I know what is fractions – is part of a whole
I know what is measurement – is length, area, volume
I know what is algebra – is I don’t know.
You can call it g or x or v or your name too.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.


Track 2 (2 times table)
I know what is multiplication – is adding equal numbers
I wonder what multiplication is really is –
1 time of 2 is 2
2 time of 2 is 4
3 times of 2 is 6
4 times of 2 is 8
5 times of 2 is 10
….
….
Track 3 (2 times table)
Skip count, skip count, count by 2,
Skip count, skip count, count by 2,
Skip count, skip count, count by 2
Let’s count to 20
2, 4, 6, 8, then 10
12, 14, 16, 18
Finally we reach 20.
We counted to 20.
(Repeat 2 times)

Track 4 (3 times table)
This is how the 3 times table song goes:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
Oh it is great that we can skip count
Skip counting by 3.
(Repeat 2 times)

Now, it is your turn to sing.

Track 5(4 times table)
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32
After that we have 36 and next come number 40.
(Repeat 2 times)


Track 6 (5 times table)
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45
Then comes 50, then comes 50,
Multiples of 5, multiples of 5,
(Repeat 2 times)
