Description
STEP 1 of the Rhythm Lab. Also in the series bundle. Self-checking rhythm practice for Grades 2-3: read and hear whole, half, quarter and eighth notes, and count their beats. 30 cards, 20 scored. THE MUSIC IDEA When a quarter note gets 1 beat (as in 4/4 time): whole note 4 beats, half note 2, quarter note 1, eighth note half a beat (2 eighths = 1 beat). The note tree: 1 whole = 2 halves = 4 quarters = 8 eighths. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards: meet the notes, feel the beat, the note tree, read a rhythm row. - Round 1: look at a note. How many beats? - Round 2: listen over a ticking beat. Whole, half, 2 quarters, quarter or 2 eighths? - Round 3: the note tree. Type how many. - Round 4: hear a 4-beat rhythm. Which of 3 rows was it? - Reveal cards after every round, with speakers. - 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 soft tick on every beat, so learners can count along. 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.
