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: Solve Systems of Linear Equations by Elimination (A-REI.C.6)
How the beat teaches it: Every slot gives a system built to eliminate y when added — add the two equations to solve for x, then find y, and build x on the bass drum, y on the snare.
This is lesson 16 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, “Systems of Equations by Substitution,” covered solve Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution (A-REI.C.6). Next is Lesson 17, “Properties of Exponents.”
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.
