The Four Levels of Implementing Mathematical Rap in Your Classroom
Abstract
Accessing cultural funds of knowledge using hip-hop can increase engagement and can be implemented in the classroom at various levels. This paper provides a framework for implementing mathematical rap in mathematics classrooms. Real classroom examples are provided to illustrate use-cases and student products.References
