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: Exponents (6.EE.A.1)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot evaluates a number raised to a power — multiply the base by itself that many times, then build the result anywhere in the kit. None of these are small; expect to mix in triplets and sixteenth notes.
This is lesson 13 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 6, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, “Absolute Value,” covered absolute Value (6.NS.C.7c). Next is Lesson 14, “Evaluating Expressions with Variables.”
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.
