A year
seven class at a school in Essex have been putting their sums to songs!
Their maths teacher has
his pupils singing and dancing to try and make classes more entertaining and help them
learn.
We all know maths can be dull - but is this taking things a bit far?
What would YOU do to make lessons more fun?
How about acting out scenes from Shakespeare in your English class?
Or using a time-machine in your history lesson?!
I don't think singing and dancing would work - most people would
be too embarrassed and not do it.
Caroline, 12, Tadley
I would try to include activities and games to make us learn more
quickly and more fun.
Leona, 11, Macduff
I think Maths would be fun to music, but I can't sing at all...
I'd be playing the triangle in the corner.
Harry, 16, Surrey
I would just like classes on computers, because they are easy to
use and quicker than handwriting.
Michael, 13, Ramsgate
Singing
to maths almost seems pointless (anlamsız) after a while because not all kids like to sing. Games would be
better, like competitive games.
Spencer, 12, USA
Dancing would be embarrassing. Why not introduce (ortaya koymak) rewards? A cake for every correct
answer. All of a sudden maths would be the best subject in school!

Maths is a lovely subject and singing and dancing would completely ruin it. I
personally think that once you start taking an interest in this subject you'll find that
it's not dull at all.

I know maths classes can be boring but singing and dancing in
them is a bit too enthusiastic (şevkli, hararetli). I
would be dreading the classes instead of enjoying them.
Hannah, 13, Guest Editor
I think teachers ruin lessons. Some of them are horrible and too
strict, so lessons become boring and people will hate them. Maybe if teachers were nicer
or funnier it would help.
Hannan, 13, Newcastle
I think Maths is very boring, and singing and dancing isn't the
best way to make you learn, it would be humiliating (küçük düşürücü,
utandırıcı) and very long and boring. I think that
games, quizzes, role play etc. would be really enjoyable.
Andrew, 13, Lisburn
I used to find RE very boring until we got a new teacher, who
made it interesting because he is dead on and very easy to get along with, we also do
different activities and thanks to him I'm doing really well in RE!

I really do not see how this would benefit maths knowledge. For a start, how do you mix
Music and Maths together? Also, what is the point anyway? I don't know at other schools,
but my school is pretty good at maths. Stupid idea really.
Andy, 12, London
I think maths is dull and boring and if we did dancing in it I
think I would dread (çok korkmak, korku ve endişe
duymak) it. I think we should be able to
use computers or something similar to make maths more fun.
Lauren, 14, Wakefield
Invent new ones. Things like geography, history etc are so
boring. Maybe a lesson in LIFE would be good which would involve learning about how to
succeed. Or one about health and diets, where you learn exactly what to eat and set
targets for yourself. Or inventions, the whole point being start racking your brains and
thinking about the future!
Joe, 13, Brighouse
In my maths classes we play games on the smartboard. (a big
screen which shows what's happening on the computer) And these games make you think really
quickly, so you get better and better at answering certain questions quickly in your head.
It's really fun, but also quite challenging, and a lot better than singing and dancing,
what if you're bad at both? How humiliating!
