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: Multiply Decimals (5.NBT.B.7)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot multiplies a decimal by a whole number — the whole number is how many BLOCKS you use, and the notes packed into each one are the decimal counted in tenths; build the total (also in tenths) across exactly that many blocks.
This is lesson 9 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, “Subtracting Decimals,” covered subtract Decimals to Hundredths (5.NBT.B.7). Next is Lesson 10, “Dividing 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.
