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: Find f(0) for a Polynomial Built From Given Zeros
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives two zeros — write the polynomial as f(x) = (x - zero1)(x - zero2), then evaluate f(0) to find the constant term. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.
This is lesson 10 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, College Algebra, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Degree From a Polynomial's Factored Multiplicities,” covered add Up Zero Multiplicities to Find a Polynomial's Degree. Next is Lesson 11, “Slant Asymptotes of Rational Functions.”
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.
