(AJ) Welcome to the Sigonella Podcast, coming to you from the Hub of the Med. Today, we are going to hear from several of our 6th grade students singing about math. Working on geometric shapes, the students were tasked put their own words to some familiar songs. Let listen to the results.

(Waffles, Muffin and Bacon) Hi, this is Waffles, Muffin, and Bacon, and we are going to sing TRIANGLICIOUS.

Trianglicious definitions
3 equal sides
They make my equilateral jump all the time
Trianglicious
It’s hot hot
Trianglicious
I put those sides on rock rock
Trianglicious
They want a side of what I got
Trianglicious
Ho—ho—ho—hold up
Check it out
Tria—tria—tria—triangle
If you really wanna learn
Listen to this song
Equilateral ain’t wrong
3 sides all the time
I’ll be learnin’ somethin’ fine
It’s so crazy—crazy

(AJ) Next is Star Frosty and Tootsie Roll singing Scalene Triangles and Equilateral.

Scalene triangles have zero perfect sides
‘cause their measurements aren’t really alike
and the are just not right
scalene triangles do never use them in math
‘cause they give pain and hurt your brain
and that the end of the song!
Equilateral have 3 sides
‘cause they are just the perfect size
They make sense in you math
They make sense in your class
So use equilateral every time
When you need help in thinking time.

(AJ) And next we’ll have Potatoes singing, Oh Equilateral.

Oh, equilateral, oh, equilateral
How your sides are so beautiful
You have 3 of these sides
They are so flat and smooth inside
Oh, equilateral, oh, equilateral,
How much we love you equilateral
All your sides are the same length
But that’s okay ‘cause we give thanks
Oh, equilateral, oh, equilateral,
You are the best ye equilateral.

(AJ) And now we’ll hear from Blue, Angel, and Roxy Girl, singing The Triangle Song.

Lonely, oh, we’re Mr. Lonlies.
We have no equal sides.
I’m all on my own, oooh,
My name is Mr. Scalene man
I am a triangle with no equal sides…
So now you know what a scalene is
And that is all…

(AJ) And now we’ll hear from Lexus, Petey, and Lynsey, singing their version of The Triangle Song.

I thought triangles were only true in math books
Maybe for the geek but not for me
They were out to get me
That’s the way it seems
But I gave up to isosceles
Then I saw scalene
And her awkward sides
I fell in love
With equilateral
Oh, no no no
I’m an achiever
I can degree her if I tried.

(Skittles, Monkey, Monkey) Hi, this is Skittles, this is Monkey, and this is Mookie, and we’re going to sing Triangular Jingles.

Triangles, triangles, equilaterals
3 sides equal all the time
Equilaterals
Jingle bells, triangles
E…QUA…LA…TERALS!

(Skittles, Monkey, Monkey) Hi, this is Skittles, this is Monkey, and this is Mookie, and we’re singing McDonold.

Old McDonald had some triangles
A…cute…tri…an…gles
With a small angle here
And a small angle there
Here it’s small
There it’s small
Everywhere it’s small small
Old McDonald had some triangles
A…cute…tri…an…gles!

(AJ) And that is one way our 6th graders at Sigonella learned about triangles. That’s it for today from Sigonella, the Hub of the Med.
