　　(2017·山西省运城市教学检测)The class of eighth grade at a Los Angeles middle school tap their rulers and nod their head to the rhythm of the rap video shown on a sereen. Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.

　　Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2,200­student school in this neighborhood.

　　He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”

　　Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.

　　Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.

　　Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr.Queen's class go around singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C­average to an A.
