Remember those catchy tunes you loved as a kid? The ones that stuck in your head and somehow made learning fun? That's what Silly School Songs is all about! They've taken a tricky math concept – skip counting by 11 – and turned it into a song your kids will be singing in their sleep (hopefully not during math class, though!).
Why Skip Counting Matters (and Why This Song Works)
Skip counting isn't just about memorizing numbers; it's a building block for multiplication, division, and understanding number patterns. Silly School Songs gets that, which is why their song doesn't just drill the sequence – it explains the why behind it:
- The 'ones place' and 'tens place' both go up by one: This simple phrase helps kids visualize how the numbers change as they skip count.
- It's every 11th number on the number line: This connects the concept to a visual representation, making it easier to grasp.
And the best part? The song loops for a full 8 minutes! That means plenty of repetition for those little learners who thrive on it.
More Than Just a Song: Engaging All Learners
What sets Silly School Songs apart is their commitment to making learning multi-sensory. They don't just rely on auditory learning; they incorporate:
- Visuals: Their YouTube video features colorful animations and on-screen lyrics, keeping kids engaged.
- Kinesthetic Learning: Encourage your kids to clap, dance, or even jump along to the beat!
Silly School Songs: A Family Affair
Created by a family who understands the joys (and challenges!) of education, Silly School Songs is a labor of love. A teacher mom, a musically-inclined dad, and their two kids pour their hearts into creating songs that are:
- Original: No generic tunes here! They write and produce all their own music.
- Classroom-Tested: These songs aren't just theoretical; they're used and loved by real teachers and students.
