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: Add Decimals to Hundredths (5.NBT.B.7)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot adds two decimals — multiply the total by 10 to count it in tenths, then build that many notes across the kit. None of these fit as plain quarter notes; mix in eighth notes, triplets, and sixteenths to pack them all in.
This is lesson 7 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 5, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Rounding Decimals,” covered rounding Decimals (5.NBT.A.4). Next is Lesson 8, “Subtracting Decimals.”
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.
