4/4 ×2
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: Apply the Law of Cosines (G-SRT.D.11)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives two sides of a triangle with a 60° angle between them — since cos(60°)=1/2, the Law of Sines (c² = a²+b²-2ab·cosC) simplifies to c² = a²+b²-ab, and every pair here is chosen so that comes out a perfect square. Build the third side anywhere in the kit.
This is lesson 6 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 12, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “The Law of Sines,” covered apply the Law of Sines (G-SRT.D.10). Next is Lesson 7, “Transformations — Shifts.”
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.
