"Music and Math"My music and math book teaches early learners age 4 and up the rhythmic value of music notes. My book only uses addition. In my classes I begin by teaching the students these values.Whole note and whole rest = 4 beatsDotted half not = 3 beatsHalf note and half rest = 2 beatsQuarter note and quarter rest = 1 beat2 eighth notes = 1 beatI use my notation flashcards on a regular basis. After they have a basic understanding of these signs, I play music and math games with them.Example:(1) With two hands, I'll hold up 2 fingers on my left hand.(This is a half note, it gets 2 beats)(2) On my right hand, I'll hold up 1 finger.(This is a quarter note it gets 1 beat)(3) The left hand is 2 beats.

(4) The right hand is 1 beat.(5) Two beats plus one beat equals how many beats? 3 beatsThere are (4) activity pages and (54) numerical addition examples with answers in the "Music and Math" book.
