This Math Teacher Is Going Viral for Her Epic Math Raps

A teacher from Buffalo, New York, created an epic math rap to the tune of “Ice, Ice, Baby,” and we are loving it! To teach students how to solve a two-step equation, sixth grade teacher Kristie sings, “Trying to get to X by itself is the mission. First off you gotta move the constant.” Students sing “math, math, baby” in the background as this awesome lesson plays out.

Kristie replied to a comment on the viral video saying “This is just the hook to my lesson to get them excited about learning equations!”
