Just for something different to do with students, have them make a rap about content you want them to learn. Give a two sentence definition of what perimeter means, for example, and use the app called "Smule Auto Rap".
I had my students each make one about a geometric shape, the attributes of the shape chosen.
Here's a quick iMovie showing how I made a very simple rap about perimeter. Fun and quick to do! Entertaining for the students to do occasionally. :)http://youtu.be/WkDINxaZNfk
I posted the Perimeter Auto Rap on Edmodo for my students and they are raving about it! One boy's comment was, "I can't believe I learned what perimeter is by listening to a rap!"
