College Algebra, Lesson 15: Exponential Decay — Half-Life

Math skill: Compute Remaining Amount After Several Half-Lives

How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a starting amount, a half-life, and an elapsed time that's a whole number of half-lives — divide the starting amount by 2 once per half-life that's passed. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 15 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, Compound Interest — Future Value,” covered compute A = P(1 + r)^t and the Interest Earned. Next is Lesson 16, Systems of Three Linear Equations.”

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.
