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: Counting On (1.OA.C.5)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives you a starting number and asks you to count on a few more — land on the total and build that many hits.
This is lesson 9 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, “Doubles Plus One,” covered near Doubles (1.OA.C.6). Next is Lesson 10, “Making 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.
