“To keep students motivated in school, teachers often have to be creative and entertaining. Such is the case with Lynne Pike, a second grade teacher at Calusa Elementary School in New Port Richey, Fla. Mrs. Pike wanted to show her students that learning basic multiplication rules can be fun, so she wrote rap lyrics and combined them with music to make the math rules more enjoyable.”
