It's a Math Story!

Watch this video by Ms. Formoso that includes a
special "mathy" twist on a popular Taylor Swift song!

Follow along with the lyrics shown below
(The chorus lyrics appear in the video.)

It was first grade when I first saw you,
I close my eyes, the flashback starts, I'm sitting there
In my little chair.
See the ones, see the twos and threes
See the fours, see the fives
So long ago.... little did I know

That you were math, you were my future
My daddy said stay away from counting on your fingers
Borrowing came next,
I was begging you please go slow....
And I said: (CHORUS)

I moved on; it was multiplication
Then on to the dread long division
Close my eyes; I can do this if I try.

You were math, you were my future
My daddy said stay away from counting on fingers
Algebra came next,
I was begging you please go slow...
And I said: (CHORUS)

Number line save me,
They try to tell me how to feel
The struggle's difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, I'll make it out of this mess
It's a math story
Everybody say YES.

I was calculating
Wondering, could the answer be found?
My faith in me was fading
When will I figure it out? (CHORUS)

And I said
Math, you're wonderful
I never have to be alone
I love you, and that's all I really know
You be the plus and I'll be the minus
It's a math story, everybody say.... YES
