Students identify ways in which the principles and subject matter of other disciplines taught in school, specifically math, are interrelated with those of music.

Pupils detect the waveform of musical notes to determine the code for the "safe" in this forensics simulation lesson. They use a microphone and tuning forks along with Vernier EasyData on their graphing calculator to analyze five musical...

Students practice rhythms and fractions on African drums in this Music lesson mixing Math skills and music notation. The lesson also includes ideas for assessment and state and national benchmarks met.

In this creative music activity from Scientific American, students learn about musical notation and then design their own notations. Great web resource links are alsp provided

Students identify letter names of notes, demonstrate simple rhythms, and use that knowledge to play short melodic phrases using the educational software called BugBand. Handouts and a quiz to assess student achievement are included.

Students apply fractions to counting rhythm in music. In this algebra lesson, students interrelate the concept of math into music as they fill out a chart identifying the names and symbols of music notes and their equivalent values in...

Students explore basic math functions by singing with their classmates. In this addition and subtraction instructional activity, students sing the song "5 Green and Speckled Frogs"and complete a list of subtraction problems. Students...

This lesson enables students to gain a broader awareness of the basic blues scale and the harmonic structure of the standard blues progression. Students will be given introductory exercises on blues improvisation and will also...

Young scholars recognize coins and their values and count coin groups. They play a game where when music is turned on they skip, hop, jog and when it is turned off, they go to a spot in the room marked with the same coin or value as is...

When slavery took Africans from their land, they were separated from the rich musical and oral traditions native to each country and region. While working as slaves, Africans found they had two places where they could use these musical...

Second graders engage in a instructional activity which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

Students practice the concepts of time and rhythm using drum beats. They also create body shapes using verbal cues. The shapes made include stretched, curled, angular, or twisted. The rhythm of beats is increased or decreased to explore...

Students clap four-beat rhythm patterns containing whole, half, dotted half, quarter, and eighth notes and rests in a given tempo. They clap the tempo as their teacher holds up flash cards.

Third graders review angle criteria and then stand. They demonstrate with their hands each type of angle called out by the teacher: right, acute, or obtuse. Music is added and students follow teacher in an angle aerobics class peppered...

Students copy, create, describe, and extend patterns with objects. They explore a variety of patterns through the use of manipulatives, sound, rhythms, songs and movement. Cooperative processes are used to encourage partner discussion.

Young children read the story, Berlioz the Bear and complete various reading and writing activities. They learn about fiction and non-fiction, and complete graphing and writing activities for the story. Youngsters draw the bear and use...

Students examine Arizona counties and use the themes of location and movement to develop an Arizona map.

Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.

In this multiple choice worksheet, students answer questions about fish and how fish live. After visiting the aquarium, students chart the different creatures they see during their visit and solve mathematical equations of their findings.

Young scholars create nets of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of cylinders and other solids. They show their understanding of three-dimensional shapes by solving problems.

In this video, musician Jake Shimabukuro uses the pitch of musical notes and vibrations in hertz to illustrate the concept of ratios. This clip is from Center for Asian American Media. In the accompanying classroom activity, students...
