Singing the 7 times table to Mamma Mia

At Summerhill junior school in Bristol, year 5 and 6 have been singing our times tables to the tune of pop songs.  The children love it and it has really helped them learn.

We linked up with Kings Oak secondary school and recorded this song with a live band of A-level music students.  The children then animated their times tables to create this video.

We also recorded 5 other times tables using songs by Pharrell Williams, Journey, Little mix, Ylvis and Clean Bandit.  Videos will follow soon.

You can find details about the project and all the files to download at:

The lyrics to this song are

1 times 7 is 7
2 times 7 is 14
3 sevens are 21
4 are 28

35
then it's 42
49
8 times 7 is 56
9 times 7 is 63

Ten times 7 equals 70
E-leven times 7 equals 77
Woah woah

12 times 7 equals 84
I know my 7 times table
12 times 7 equals 84
I know my 7 times table

You know the sevens are easy
You know that while you sing it
My my
How can you forget them?
12 times 7 equals 84
I know my 7 times table


Hope this helps you have fun learning your times tables!
