Math Poems

Here are the math poems I've been sharing at seminars.


Rounding poem

Mark the place, look to the right.
Four or less, just sit tight.
Five and up, you add one more,
Now toss those "righties" out the door.
In those empty right-hand spaces,
Zeroes keep the proper places.

 

Subtracting poem

More on top?
No need to stop.

More on the floor?
Go next door.
Get ten more.
