Grade 2, Lesson 1: Addition Facts Within 20

Math skill: Fluency Within 20 (2.OA.B.2)

How the beat teaches it: Every slot is a fast addition fact within 20 — since the total is often too big for one row, build a drum beat with the total spread across a couple of rows.

This is lesson 1 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 2, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. It is the first lesson in Grade 2, so it assumes no prior math or drumming. Next is Lesson 2, Subtraction Facts Within 20.”

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.
