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: Ten More / Ten Less (1.NBT.C.5)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives you a two-digit number and asks for ten more or ten less — build the new tens and ones; only the tens ever change.
This is lesson 18 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, “Place Value: Tens and Ones,” covered place Value (1.NBT.B.2). Next is Lesson 19, “Comparing Two-Digit Numbers.”
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.
