IF I WERE IN CHARGE OF MATHEMATICS!
By: Christine Pastrak
If I were in charge of mathematics
I’d cancel converting Celsius to Fahrenheit,
Metric to Imperial,
And also kilometers to miles.
(This is Canada)
If I were in charge of mathematics
There’d be more pi
And sin’s
And also signs about pie.
(Everyone needs a study snack)
If I were in charge of mathematics,
You wouldn’t have milli
You wouldn’t have micro
You wouldn’t have nano
Or pico
You wouldn’t even have macro.
(What’s wrong with large, medium, and small?)
If I were in charge of mathematics
Fractions would be a vegetable,
All numbers would be letters,
And a person who sometimes forgot to carry over
And looked a little bit like Grover
Would still be allowed to be in charge of mathematics!
