Grade 1, Lesson 6: Addition Within 20

Math skill: Add Within 20 (1.OA.C.6)

How the beat teaches it: Every slot is an addition fact just over 10 — one good strategy is bridging through 10: split the second number so the first part rounds up to 10, then add what's left.

This is lesson 6 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 1, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, Skip Counting by 10s to 100,” covered counting by Tens (1.NBT.A.1). Next is Lesson 7, Subtraction Within 20.”

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.
