| Scott's instructional math rap videos include the original songs "Triangle Experts," "Special Right Triangles," "Graphing Trig Functions," and "Quadratic Formula." Lyrics include "The cosine is sine with a phase shift of pi/If you think I'm wrong you just give it a try/Type in cosine ninety and sine one-eighty/You get zero for both unless your TI is shady/Now check your mode, make sure you're in degrees/Now try tan ninety and see what it reads ..." and "If you can solve the tri then you can solve the poly/You'll be knocking out problems like your last name was Ali/See, the triangle is the mother of all polygons/If you can solve it then your game is tight like Lebron's/If you rip up your triangle and line up your vertices/they form a straight line because they're supplementary ..." and "The second tool in this bag is eponymously named/after the Greek mathematician from whom it came/For any right triangle, the hypotenuse squared/equals the sum of the legs squared. Now you're prepared/to find the third side of any right triangle you see/Use the Pythagorean Theorem and your a-b-c's/Please, we solve triangles on our way to diplomas/Podemos hablar de triagulos en dos idiomas ..." Scott, recognized as the 2011 NAACP–MCPS Outstanding Teacher of the Year, teaches at Montgomery Blair High School (Maryland). | |
