Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, I've got to get to the point.
Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, I've got to get to the point.

This coordinate plane, it confuses my brain.
How can I locate a point on the plane?
I know I have to do this right.
There are two intersecting perpendicular number lines
Confusing to my brain tonight.
(I've got to get to the point.)

The horizontal line, it goes side to side,
That's the x axis. (Get to the point.)
The vertical line, it goes up and down,
That's the y axis. (Get to the point.)
Where they intersect, that's the origin.
To graph a point,
You have to start at the origin,
Start at the origin.

When you see two numbers in parentheses,
That's called an ordered pair.
The numbers tell you which direction to go
And how far to move to get there.
Which way? How far?
Look at what the numbers are!

Chorus
First you do the horizontal-that's the x,
Then you do the vertical-the y next.
Move left or right, and then move up or down,
The numbers will tell you how many units
To count. (to get to the point)

Begin at the origin: First you do the x,
Negative means move left, positive means move right.
Then from that point you do the y,
Negative means move down, positive means move up.

Let's see if you've got it now!
Negative four, positive three: (Go left four, up three.)
Positive two, positive nine: (Go right two, up nine.)
Positive one, negative five: (Go right one, down five.)
Negative four, negative eight: (Go left four, down eight.)
Yes, I think you've got it straight!

Repeat chorus.

Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, you've got to get to the point!
Get to the point, get to the point,
Oh, you've got to get to the point! (Get to the point!)

Let me show you something that's easy to do.

Easy for you, but more difficult for me.
It looks complicated, but it's easy as can be.
How easy is that?


When you've got LIKE fractions, how do you know?
They have the same denominator down below.

To add LIKE fractions and get the right sum,
You just add the numerators;
Keep the same denominator down below.
So, two fifths plus two fifths equals four fifths.
Add two plus two-easy to do.
How easy is that?

To subtract LIKE fractions and get the right difference,
You subtract the numerators,
Keep the same denominator down below.
So, three fourths minus two fourths equals one fourth.
Three minus two-easy to do.
How easy is that?

Easy for you, and now it's easy for me.
It looks complicated, but it's easy as can be.
How easy is that?


When they're UNLIKE fractions, how do you know?
Different denominators down below.

To add or subtract UNLIKE fractions
And get the right difference or sum,
Use equivalent fractions
That have the same denominator down below.

So, one fifth plus one tenth
Is just the same as
Two tenths plus one tenth,
And two tenths plus one tenth equals three tenths.
Add two plus one-it's easily done.
How easy is that?

Easy for you-now it's easy for me,
It looks complicated but it's easy when you know
That you need the same denominator,
The same denominator,
The same denominator down below.

How easy is that? How easy is that?
How easy is that? Oh, how easy is that?

(chorus)	A minute seems like a minute. A day seems like a day. But an hour of doing what I don't like Is longer than one of play.

	How many games can you play at your party? Would twenty games be right? Or should you play just one or two So the games won't last all night? (chorus)
