Grade 9, Lesson 5: One-Step Equations (Addition & Subtraction)

Math skill: Solve One-Step Equations by Addition/Subtraction (A-REI.B.3)

How the beat teaches it: Every slot is a one-step equation — undo the addition or subtraction to isolate x, then build that many notes anywhere in the kit.

This is lesson 5 of 24 in RockBlocks Math, Grade 9, a free course where every lesson turns a math idea into something you can count, hear, and play. The previous lesson, The Distributive Property,” covered expand Expressions with the Distributive Property (A-SSE.A.2). Next is Lesson 6, One-Step Equations (Multiplication & Division).”

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.
