Number Rhymes

One is straight and high
as a lamppost with light.
Two is a red flamingo
the first even number: bingo!
Three like lettuce leaves
that say yum-yum, please.
Four with a bent leg
and the other like a peg.
Five is a rocking chair
with an awning in the air.
Six is a listening ear
to everything that is near.
Seven is an umbrella that is closed
with the handle that is posed.
Eight is an endless road
that comes and goes and is broad.
Nine is a fan with blades
that look like spades.
Zero is an oval ring
and inside is the begining.
.........................................
Now we start playing with two figures
in order, each with everyone, one by one.
Then comes the turn of the three figures in combination
and this is a complicated operation.
This magical game  never ends
as long as you can imagine: to infinity.

Maths and Musical Paths

According to   Plato   the harmony of numbers

 is closely related to musical harmony

 and at the same time with our own interior.

 Search each in his own inner harmony that can be an exciting journey.

A short tale:
Green Cat and the Ants  

Once upon a time a cat goes for a walk.
His hair was so brilliant that seems to shine under the sun,
He didn't like ants because they tickled the feet  of the cat.
However, one day the cat was sick and slowly watching ants.
They're walking as a dance exploring their space.
The ants's antennas are moving with a magnetic rythm.
Those movings remember really an ancestral coreography.
Suddenly, he understood that he can learn a lot about his new friends.
All are happy by the new friendship and playing together.
Sometimes they go out together and the ants go up his head.
Life is easier with mates and maths and music.

Perimeters and Areas

Just as the words play with the ideas,
the formulas try to explain geometric shapes.

You can sing along with The Bazillions
    some facts about perimeter and area.

about regular polygons
and their apothema as theme.

Tom Chapin - In The Group from Steven Mertens on Vimeo.

Lyrics.

If itʼs one, make it two, make it me and you
If itʼs two, make it three, you and you and me
If itʼs three, make it four
ʼCause three could use one more
If itʼs four, make it five, bring this group alive!
Everybody has a body
Keep your body in the group
We found our way in, now, letʼs stay in
Workinʼ, playinʼ in the group
Make it seven, if itʼs six
Do it just for kicks
If itʼs seven, make it eight
Eight is always great
If itʼs eight, make it nine
Nine is really fine
If itʼs nine, make it ten
Then start it all again!
Everybody has a body
Keep your body in the group
We found our way in, now, letʼs stay in
Workinʼ, playinʼ in the group
Eyes and nose in, fingers, toes in
Knees and elbows in the group
Donʼt be strayinʼ, letʼs just stay in
Workinʼ, playinʼ in the group
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, more
Eight, nine, ten, then, start all over again
Everybody has a body
Keep your body in the group
No delayinʼ, when youʼre stayinʼ
Workinʼ, playinʼ in the group
Eyes and nose in, fingers, toes in
Knees and elbows in the group
No complaininʼ, keep your brain in
Keep your body, your whole body
Everybody in the group

Math and paths

Math is a magical view of the matter and its paths.
Math is a universal and almost ancestral language.

Enjoy math and its paths.

Have you got Maths Eyes? from Leckaun National School on Vimeo.


 “2500 years ago a group of revolutionary thinkers
 changed the way we think about maths.
 Through the idea of proof,
 the Ancient Greeks showed that maths
 isn’t just about performing calculations,
 but a way of understanding and testing
 the reality of the world around us”.

their paths to approach maths.

Some faces with caps

You can make
some cool faces
through the

It's a fun way to play with caps. They can dance for you or
you can have funny math, counting with these caps.

Changing times

On these changing times, beside the conflicts of men,
this year starts with strong storms and low temperature
at some countries of Northern Hemisphere
and there is heat waves and windy storms
on some countries of Southern Hemisphere.

Perhaps still time to take care of our nature,
listening to the wind and reading all the natural elements:
skies, air, clouds and stars, rivers, seas and oceans,
volcanoes and cracks, deserts and glaciers,
mountains, valleys, and meadows, cliffs and beaches
rocks, plants and animals, everything.

Here is the song of the apple tree than speaks of the wind.
The wind tells us a lot information about the weather.
When the men don't have equipment or media,
Just put a finger in the air and see where the wind is blowing.
You can ask your grandparents explain it,
and sharing these little big treasures.

Also this song serves for the kids

 practice the   simple numbers.

Visual and rhythmic math

Some children don't like the word "math"
But with videos like this, you can fly 
through basic numbers and geometric shapes.

You can invent a choreography for easy integration of math..
 Counting steps or following with your body the dancing movements
 the mathematic could become funny and rhythmic.
