Drag rhythmic values into up to 8 beat blocks per line to build a drum groove, or click a tile then click a block to place it — handy on a trackpad.
Math skill: Subtraction Within 10 (K.OA.A.2)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot is a subtraction fact starting bigger than Lesson 12's — build what's left in one row.
This is lesson 17 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Kindergarten, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Adding Within 10,” covered addition Within 10 (K.OA.A.2). Next is Lesson 18, “Subtraction Word Problems Within 10.”
Every slot above (A, B, C, D) is its own question, and it’s a real, blank RockBlocks beat the whole time — the same drag-and-drop tiles, kit, tempo, sheet music, and drummer view as anywhere else on the site. Tap ❓ Questionin the corner to read the current slot’s problem, build your answer right in the grid, then tap ✓ Check Answerto grade it. Once you’re done, keep going: expand the beat, drop it into a Stack, or save a copy to your own page — nothing here overwrites the lesson itself, so every visitor still starts from the same blank slots.
