"Divide, multiple and subtract. Bring it on down and bring it on back!"

Those are the words to a foot-tapping song 4th grade students made up to guide them through the unchartered waters of long division.

Their teacher Nadine S. Ebri posted a video on Facebook of one student completing an equation to the tune of her classmates chanting the tune.

"I always heard that teachers dreaded teaching long division! Well, not anymore!" Ebri wrote on Facebook. "My students made this song up! They're seriously the most crunk class ever! LOL."

Mashable spoke with Ebri, who lives in Jacksonville, FL, about the kiddies.

"I was telling them the steps to solve a long division problem and my students and I turned it into a song last week," she told Mashable. "It was completely unintentional, we were just having fun. We turn most of our math steps into songs because it helps them to remember."

If they can keep this zeal for learning up all the way through college, there's no doubt they'll go far.
