Dance Steps To Solving An Equation

6th Grade Preforms "Dance Steps to Solving an Equation"

Lyrics

First you clear your fractions,
LCD and CLAW action

Then you distribute,
and you do the claw scoot

Then you simplify,
Put your hands up in the sky

So you combine like terms
and do the squirm

Add and subtract, x terms alone on one side

So take a step back and do a big slide

Multiply and divide, the answer you will learn,
when you jump to the left and do a full turn

Now check check check ch-check check check
