The Grocery Rap

🎵 LISTEN

Play the song above — the words light up as they're sung.

Push open that door,
See math in this store.
One liter, 2 liters, 3 liters, 4 —
Pints, quarts, gallons,
Which one is more?

Ounces or pounds
by the bottle, cup or box,
You can buy anything,
From tortilla chips to socks.

Ten for a dollar,
Or maybe half price,
When it's on sale,
It's twice as nice.

Small to large,
And large to small.
Weigh it, size it,
Math skills on call!

One dozen is twelve.
Half a dozen is six.
Shopping plus math equals a mix.
Wholes, halves, quarters too,
Look at the fractions,
Which one to choose?

The store directory shows the way,
To the numbered aisles,
Stock up, then pay.
Use a card,
Or pay with cash.
Count your change,
Then out with a dash.

Math is all around you,
In everything you do.
So next time you go shopping,
Let the numbers guide you through!
