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: Place Value to 1,000,000 (4.NBT.A.1-2)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a four-digit number — build its parts on four different instruments, from thousands down to ones: kick holding the pulse, snare answering, hi-hat filling in, and — new this grade — ride cymbal keeping the fastest, steadiest part of all.
This is lesson 5 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 4, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Multi-Step Word Problems,” covered multi-Step Word Problems (4.OA.A.3). Next is Lesson 6, “Rounding Multi-Digit Numbers.”
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.
