We hope you enjoy this bit of extreme musical comedy in the service of education. Thanks for watching! No bears or prime numbers were harmed in the making of this video. Teachers who use this video may wish to post (large) the primes from 2 to 53 so kids can SING THE CHORUS! --There is a version of this song recorded live on a student's phone at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em0unPQjneU on YouTube.
Here are the lyrics:
Invasion of the Prime Numbers
Now I'm a prime number, and I'm glad to be around.
I'm a very groovy number, so watch me gettin' down!
Oh I'm prime as any number that can be found.
I've only got two factors , 1 and myself, so you can't break me down!
Now my little buddy TWO is the smallest of the primes.
He's the only prime that's even so he gets lonely lots of times,
But he's prime: he's just as prime as he can be.
Although he's very small and even, he's the cutest little prime number you'll ever see.
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,
We're primes, so you can't break us down!
Now THREE, she's really happy, but she's odd as odd can be.
She's a really classy number, and she's just as prime as me.
She's really prime! She such an odd and crazy clown.
She's only got two factors, 1 and herself, so you can't break her down.
We've got so many brothers and sisters: 5,7,11,13.
We're certain to outnumber you when we all make the scene.
We're wild wild primes numbers, and we're takin' over your town.
We've only got two factors ,1 and ourselves, so you can't break us down.
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,
We're primes, so you can't break us down!

Teach Me How To Factor (WSHS Math Rap Song)by WSHSmath365,304 views
When I was in school we never had teachers bring guitars and sing songs! Substitues just kind of sat there and waited out the clock

@flowertrue Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Life is too short to wait out the clock. I feel fortunate that I am not burned out regarding helping students. I hope we can dream better dreams in the infinite classroom of life. Balloon bears sometimes can help. They are definitely light on their feet.

That's true! I couldn't bring the balloon bears to work today (they were in Bear Valley over in Point Reyes), but I did sing Invasion of the Prime Numbers.

Well, actually the bear was NOT harmed. The bear that fell is an accomplished stunt bear. It was definitely ready for . . . Prime Time!
