SONG!: Mr. Duey's Long Division Rap

Lyrics – Long Division

By: Daniel Joseph Duey

Verse 1
Mr.Duey exclusive. This is what you been waiting for.
Better than the best on the planet. You know.
Draw a line up to the right take the number you dividing by.
Put that number to the left of the line. Now put the number you
dividing with inside of it, setting up long division if you listen that’s the
bottom line of it. Now try to get this answer to this problem that
I about to give, 390 divided by 6. Now the 6 wont fix into 3 but if fits
into 39, 6 times. Put the 6 above the 9. Now take the 6 multiply it by
the number you divided by. Gives you 36 write it right below the 39.
Subtract that, that’s 3 bring the 0 down.. right! And see that 6 goes
into 30 perfectly 5 times. Put the 5 by the 6 on the top of the line.
And see that 6 goes into 390, 65 times. Put some time behind to
comprehend the rhyme I designed. To understand it’s long division
at the drop of a dime.

Chorus 1
Now draw a line up to the right, take the number you divided
by put that number to the left of the line. Put the number you
divided with inside of, setting up for long division if you listen
that’s the bottom line of it
Repeat 2X

Verse 2
You know me Mr.Duey I just breezed through college.
Please Mr.Duey would you stick to the topic. That’s how i got
my job, kid. Plus it will only take me a hot minute to drop this.
Decimals I got this. I rock this show you how you how to spit the
hotness. Show you 5 go into 82 without using a remainder as an
option. Drop a decimal, drop it like it’s hot finish the problem. Remember
5 to the left of the line, 82 inside and see how many times it will divide.
The 5 fits into 8 just 1 time. Put the 1 above the 8 and multiply
it by 5 and 1 x 5 is 5, put it right below the eight
subtract them giving you 3 then bring the 2 down. Giving you 32, dirty.
and 5 goes into that 6 times, 6 x 5 is 30. Subtract 30 from 32, that gives
you 2 and then what you do is real simple, I will explain it to you.
Drop a decimal in your answer and your problem, add a 0, drop it down
to the 2 and solve them. and 5 goes into 20 evenly 4 times, 16.4 dividing
82 by 5. Take some time to comprehend the rhyme I design
To understand it’s long division at the drop of a dime.

Chorus 2
Now draw a line up to the right, take the number you divided
by put that number to the left of the line. Put the number you
divided with inside of, setting up for long division if you listen
that’s the bottom line of it
Repeat 2X

Outro
Me Mr. Duey I just breeze through college.

Partial Quotients Long Division Demonstration (video)

One day I will make my own video... Until then, this one is pretty good. As the teacher in the video says, the partial quotients method is "forgiving" because you can solve the problem in different ways.

Karl Roemer's Long Division Song (music video)

Karl Roemer - Long Division: The Song That I Must Sing lyrics
This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down

Division is a most important operation
It has a cousin called multiplication
It involves making groups of an equal size
Or making a given number of groups to organize

This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring or down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down

Its use for making packages and sharing things
Partitioning money and making clothing
Calculating speed, average or given times
It all can be shown equally on number lines

This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down

Division and fractions are like close neighbors
The dividend in the numerator
The divisor is down in the denominator
The quotient’s the answer and the remainder’s left over

This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
This is the song that I must sing,
In order to divide like a queen or king
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down
