2007, #16, Hip Hop Math

I got an email this morning:

Teachers and Parents,

Hip Hop is the leading force in music today. We have seen children memorize every verse in a hip hop song, but not memorize their basic math facts.

NET PRODUCTIONS produces educational math music. We intertwine learning basic math facts with the popular beats and sounds of Hip Hop music today. We believe that music is a powerful resource in motivating children of all ages and backgrounds to learn.

Hip Hop Math? Are they serious? Hopefully it's geared toward younger kids, because I know very few high school kids that would buy into it. I admire the attempt, but these types of things just seem to be a waste of time.
