Square One TV: Tessellations

[tnafan67]

really made my day

[tnafan67]

whos the girl in the white coat and bathing suit

[tnafan67]

never saw this song

[tnafan67]

this song was my favorite so hip and sexy

[hepcatliz]

too this day I still hear this song whenever anyone says "tesselations" :D

[hhlvdncr]

Hello everyone... this is the "lead" lip syncing girl in the video all grown up...LOL!. To answer some questions, yes it was freezing that day at Jones Beach NY. The director was Ken Walz.. Ken cast us through our dance teacher in NJ. All us girls are still close friends (on Facebook mostly). No I don't think we knew what a tesselation was untill Ken rehersed the scenes with us that day! LOL The main guys were, Larrym, Reggie and Peter. Thanks for loving our video.

Who was the blonde dude who went down the slide & then into the tent? Assuming he was the one who decided on the pattern to cover the beach w/.

[CaptainBuckRogers]

Beach babe would certainly make learning more fun. Cool

[mustang356]

What Beach Did They Use Record This

[argentak]

I would kill for a pair of those extremely loud shorts.

Speaking of tessellations, great news: Subway has finally agreed to tessellate their cheese slices! This is the perfect celebratory song!

[MysticalChicken]

@greymattersblog When I read about Subway tessellating their cheese this song was the VERY FIRST THING I thought of.

[wifeykins]

They are wearing Jams!

[DRUMMERMAN77]

nebraska beach, is funny if you think about it

[Wyrmshadow]

What an ugly day at the beach. Grey clouds... looks freezing!

[NFITC1]

@Wyrmshadow I love that the guy is wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day too. Filming crew didn't seem to think about this much.

[americanidol434]

they should remake this show like the electric company did!

[colleen4ever]

@americanidol434 HELL no! Need I remind you how they screwed up the Electric Company remake?! God knows what they'd do to this!

[glowingdarkmatter25]

I had love for math first too. Not bad though.

[kaplanwendy]

I show this video to my classes before we make tessellations posters. The students really enjoy it - and these are high school students. Math videos like this help me bring the fun back in math.

[OneWeirdDude]

I'm not sure which I liked better: the Beach Boy style of catchy music, or the cute females. (Strangely enough, I've never really used these videos to increase my love for math, but it was high to begin with.)

[americanidol434]

I'm going to cry!

[saikyoryu]

That kid who throws the hexagon at the 1:04 mark has damn good aim!

[dogs1998]

WOOPS I SPELT SQUARE WRONG WOOPS

[dogs1998]

In Andover Elem only the fifth grade and i am in fifth grade and so they put this on every friday inless its a short week or out teacher says we were being bad or something and this is our fav song we always sing along and so we look forword to this on friday I am going to miss it next year its a good show but i will enjoy it while it lasts SQARE 1

[atlbaby06]

geometric sahpe sensations! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhh

tesselations!lol-this show wuz the only way i passed math! Thank God 4 Square 1 tv! they need to put this back on the air! maybe it'll help kids have fun while learning

[thmanwithnoname]

remember that the target audience for this was pretty young. I watched this show a lot when I was really small, and it really helped get me interested in math.

[americanidol434]

i want this show back on tv.

[fawnleaf]

Hia! I loved the video! Im kind a math geek. I found this on my teachers website and thought it was a great and catchy theme song!!! (i know, weird, right?) I was wondering if you knew any way for me to get the song onto my computer? Can you download it anywhere? Any ways, i really really liked it! Please answer me back!!! -Fawnleaf

[MysticalChicken]

One of my favorite Square One moments.  I was thinking about this song last night and except for bits and pieces, I couldn't remember how it went. I'm glad I found it on here. So many memories...

[nikima99]

I used to sing this song, even though I didnt fully understand what tessellations were. LOL

[mathtutorsnm]

Me too! :) that's excellent!

[TooxicReaper]

WORST SONG IN THE Wolrd

[Nightguardian94]

I used this song when I did a math project about Tesselations. I explained what one was and about the geometry. My teacher was impressed and I got an A+.

[tiradorfranco2]

I was only kidding guys. I'm not actually in this.

[ebonygentleman79]

Larry Cedar was in a couple of commericials this past year. One was for 'Jared' jewelry stores. Other than a wrinkly brow, he's still the same.

[adamndirtyshame]

i think his brow is sexy

[youtesttubes]

This is a cool song from Square One TV. I have not seen it, but enjoyed the show as a kid. Catchy music! My only peeve about this song is that most of the song lyrics are about having a good time singing and dancing rather than learning about tessellations. The time the kid enters the red photo booth is really the only time they briefly define and talk about what tessellations are. Compare this to the song "Square One TV: The Triangle Song" and you will see what I mean.

[colleen4ever]

VVovv, I am SOOOO jealous! I used to have the biggest crush on Larry vvhen I vvas a kid!

I vvonder if he's still cute today?

[kodiak3536]

Surfs up I love this

[hhlvdncr]

The man in the blue shirts name is Larry. Don't recall his last name. But Larry was the face of many a commercial and advertisments in the day. Every once in a while I still see he's working. ~H

[pmd44]

Oh man. This is one of the things I remember most about Square One!

[zymaymyn]

Nothing in the world quite like an overcast day at the beach!

[flowertrue]

This song stuck in my head for YEARS! Its not often someone uses the word 'tessalate' but whenever it has come up this song would start playing in my head! It drove me NUTS! Hahahaha!

[OneWeirdDude]

Sheesh, that smart alec, saying he was in the video. :-)

Square One TV cast vs. the Beach Boys. Whaddya say?

[hhlvdncr]

Hey that's me! Any of you girls in this video remember how cold and cloudy that day was?

[tiradorfranco2]

Really? Which one are you?

[hhlvdncr]

Hi, yes that's me lip syncing with the three guys. I have a great close up at the end too. Of course that was exactly 20 years ago1 I still own that suit! haha

Any of the girls in this video with me need to email me. It would be fun to chat, judy, serena, suzette, karen.....

[tiradorfranco2]

Very cool! I think it's pretty evident the weather didn't cooperate with you guys that day though the intentions of "sunny beach fun" are pretty clear. You guys did a great job of getting that across in your performance.

[rmumusicalrob]

I saw Larry Cedar flirting with you in that close up. Then I also recognized Reg in the yellow sweater. Who was that other guy though?

[hhlvdncr]

The other guys name was pete.

[rmumusicalrob]

Cool. You mentioned a lot of your other friends in this video too. Dare I ask, Which one was which?

[doubletrouble467]

@hhlvdncr that cool

[kappelmeister123]

@hhlvdncr i have a few questions for you....1) how did you get into this video; 2) where was this filmed; 3) who is that guy at the end with the brown hair; 4) most importantly, did you know what a tessellation was before this song?

[AndrewT3660]

This music video left quite the impression on me, back in the day. I always wondered how they could tile over the whole beach...

I also just realized now that the kid at 1:40 looks like he's wearing his T-shirt backwards. Heh...

[tiradorfranco2]

Good catch. I wonder if it was to "censor" the brand which I can't really make out. I remember there were a lot of popular "beach wear" brands at the time.

[BennyMcGhee]

i must be gay, and the fact that i favorited this video is proof.

[keenius74]

got one of country parody (record ) is funny

[AmyKay01]

this was always one of my favorites. thank you!!

[MGHSHour2]

put up more square one tv music videos
