I can make connections to music and counting, sequencing, geometric shapes, addition and subtraction. I can quietly listen to instruction and play instruments when it is appropriate. I can listen and play along with my fellow students. I can have fun learning math!

Music & Math gives students the opportunity to experience how music and math are closely related. Using drums and percussion instruments, students play multicultural rhythm games with counting and counting in sequence, forming geometric shapes with the group which form different poly-rhythms and solve addition and subtraction problems in mid song. The math problems would change based on what the students understanding of math is at their grade level and the time of school year. K-1st graders will get simple math challenges and simplified songs to connect with their level of understanding while 2nd graders would get more challenging math problems and more complex songs to play.

The teaching artist is leading the musical/mathematical experience the entire time and correcting any students who may be using instruments in an inappropriate way. Classroom teachers are encouraged to play along with their students and be present to help with behavioral issues. Teachers or volunteers are encouraged to videotape the session for later review with the students.
