4/4 ×2
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: Number and Shape Patterns (4.OA.C.5)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a pattern rule — apply it to find the next number, then build that many quarter notes anywhere in the kit.
This is lesson 11 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, “Prime and Composite Numbers,” covered prime and Composite Numbers (4.OA.B.4). Next is Lesson 12, “Equivalent Fractions.”
💻 Code it: In CodeBlocks, a loop that plays snare(b + 2) follows an "add 2" rule to build a pattern. Try it in CodeBlocks.
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.
