Math Poem
by Danny King, 6th grade 2017
Now once upon a time not long ago
Where people did math and lived life slow
There was a formula
For you to find
The length around a shape
It's outside
This formula was perimeter
Here’s how to solve perimeter
Two times length plus two times width
There you go. ....Now let’s move on with this
Area is the number of units
Inside a shape, and here’s how you do it
It’s just length times width you see
Easy for you, easy for me
Volume’s so easy, it’s almost free
All it is, is area but it’s 3D
The formula is super easy also
Length times width times height
And there you go
That’s the end of our story today
Come back tomorrow, I’ll be here all day
