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 the Rate Constant k in dy/dt = -k(y - y*)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a linear DE in this form, where y* is the equilibrium — the rate constant k controls how fast the system returns to equilibrium after a disturbance. Build that many notes anywhere in the kit.
This is lesson 21 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Differential Equations, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Series Solution Coefficients,” covered find a Term From a Geometric-Style Recurrence. Next is Lesson 22, “Predator-Prey Growth Rate.”
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.
