Rhythm, Rhyme, ResultsMath raps that include the following songs: Rise Up (Run Out), Don’t Be Negative, (Pump Up the) Volume, It’s All in the Surface, Circumference (It Just Makes Sense, How Do I (Work with Fractions)? Fractions and Decimals, The Standard System, Meters, Liters, and Grams, Inversion http://www.educationalrap.com/about
- 71. CircumferenceChorusIf I need to measure up a clock (circumference) Measure the post on a dock (circumference) If I’m buying rims for a car (circumference) Hey, yo, 2πr! (It just makes sense) If I need to measure up a hat (circumference) Spinnin’ records like that (circumference) If I need to pick the right jar (circumference) Hey, yo, 2πr! (It just makes sense)
- 72. CircumferenceVerse I Check out and see all the round things you can find So many circles out there, it will blow your mind It can be hard to measure distance around But once you use a little math you can figure it out If you need to find the distance around a circle shape All you need is one formula and a measuring tape Then you measure up the radius so you can figure out ‘Cause twice that radius times π is what a circle’s all about

- 74. CircumferenceVerse II You know that every circle—if it’s big or little— Has one single point that’s right in the middle So you start on one edge, draw a straight line Right through the center and to the other side That’s the diameter. And half of that is the radius That’s the crucial number that we need to figure this out Then we multiply it by 2π Circumference, 2πr, there’s no need to ask why
