University of Ibadan Releases Song To Help Students Tackle Mathematics

The University of Ibadan (UI) has launched a song aimed at simplifying mathematics for students. The song is named ‘Mathematics Solution Song’ (MATMUSIC).

The song was composed by Akin Salami of the early child education department of the university.

The vice-chancellor of the university, Idowu Olayinka, supervised the launching on Friday in Ibadan.

While speaking on the innovative project of using songs to simplify mathematics, Mr Olayinka stated that innovative tools must be adopted to enhance learning outcomes.

He challenged other researchers to discover new ways of enhancing learning by making learning interesting for positive learning outcomes.

“I believe there are other possibilities to teach medicine through music, just to make learning interesting for the learners with the efforts the doctor, instructor or lecturer is putting into, it will make learning much more possible.”

Mr Salami while speaking, stated that the idea of MATMUSIC was a product of his teaching experience at the university staff school, where he taught mathematics and realised that the students loved the course when he introduced music in passing alongside the formulas and solutions.

He said the song was composed together with the pupils and produced to ease the understanding and solving of mathematical problems in elementary primary schools.
