Grade 1, Lesson 20: Bridging Through 10 to Subtract

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

How the beat teaches it: Every slot is a subtraction fact that dips below an even ten — bridge down to 10 first, then subtract what's left, and build what remains.

This is lesson 20 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, Adding Two-Digit Numbers,” covered add Within 100 (1.NBT.C.4). Next is Lesson 21, Telling Time to the Hour.”

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.
