I have seen groups of calculus students who do cheers - I wonder what they are saying......

Anybody know what cheers I am referring too.  They remind me of cadences that soldiers do during marches.

Wondering if it is a technique used in teaching to help teach a concept, not sure

Like the quotient rule?

anonymous · Answer

One chant we learned in calculus was the derivative rule for division.

anonymous · Answer

"Low D high minus high D low over the square of what's below"

precal · Answer

I know the quotient rule:
lodehi minus hidelo over lolo

precal · Answer

I guess I am looking for other ones to use

precal · Answer

I do like the lodehi minus hidelo over lolo.  That one actually works.

Maybe a pneumatic mneumonic. Memorization through air pressure? It could be a thing.

precal · Answer

We once had all of the calculus kids come together for a huge review.  They were from different schools.  One group came in chanting.  Really intimidate my group.  I also, saw the same type of chanting when they were entering their calculus classroom when I went to visit the school for an observation.  I did not hear the words or ask about it.  Just wish I had asked what that was about during my student teaching days.

precal · Answer

These chants, cadences, or whatever it was were probably used as a memory device.
