> [@Chronos](#): > > Did she write the song herself? > > And did she do so the actual day before a test? She wrote the lyrics, the music is “borrowed” from Bruno Mars. She plays the ukelele in the video. This was something that they could do for extra credit. She actually likes math, but she doesn’t always love it, so the song is appropriate. FWIW of all of her classmates, she “won”, got voted the best, so got 3 points added to her grade (which she didn’t need anyway). ETA: afaik, this was not done the day before a test. They spent several hours on it, so I hope not. At least not the day before a trig test. ---

So which one is your daughter? Is the star of the video? or did she just do the camera work and writing and what nots? ---
