Math Shortcuts - Song to Remember Quadratic Equation

The quadratic formula can be a tricky equation to memorize when
students first encounter it in Algebra. I rely on a favorite old song
to help my students remember. Try singing the following lyrics to the
tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel"

x is equal to negative b
plus or minus the square root
of b squared minus 4ac
ALL over 2a
