Description
STEP 4 of the Rhythm Lab. Also in the series bundle. Self-checking rhythm practice for Grades 3-5: read 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4, place bar lines, find a wrong measure, and hear the strong beats. 30 cards, 20 scored. THE MUSIC IDEA The top number of the time signature is the number of beats in each measure; the bottom 4 means a quarter note gets 1 beat. Bar lines go after every 2, 3 or 4 beats, and beat 1 of each measure is the strong beat. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards: three time signatures, where bar lines go, check every measure, hear the strong beats. - Round 1: which time signature fits this measure? - Round 2: where does the first bar line go? Tap A, B or C. - Round 3: which measure has the wrong number of beats? - Round 4: listen. 2, 3 or 4 beats in each measure? - 1 acorn = 1 beat; 20 acorns light up as you go. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every answer. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - A tick on every beat, stronger on beat 1 of each measure. ACCURACY Every answer is checked by our own software and by AI test solves from the cards and sounds alone, without the key. Not tested with a class. No process is perfect; if you spot an error, please tell us through the store's feedback. HOW IT WAS MADE Text written with AI assistance and fact-checked. All images and music notation are drawn in code; no AI image generators were used. All sounds are made in code. No AI voice. Needs sound. Plays in a browser; needs internet.
