Week 4
Challenge
Let's get your BRAIN WORKING!
​
Did you know that MATH is MUSIC and MUSIC is MATH?
​
Check out the picture of this clock (a friend of mine shared it with me) and look at the Hours.
They're not the USUAL hours, are they??
​
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out HOW each hour is broken down.
For example, look where the 6 should be. There is a HALF NOTE and a WHOLE NOTE. The HALF NOTE is worth 2 beats and the WHOLE NOTE is worth 4 beats. Altogether, that makes 6 beats, and it's on the 6 o'clock spot!
​
(Hour 8 is tough, but once you figure out what that one is, it'll help you with some other ones too!)
Things you need to remember:
​
1. What numbers are on a clock
2. Note values (how many beats)
3. What the notes are called
​
Check out the Note Value Website for some helpful hints!
​
​
Your answer could look like this (but fill in the empty ones!):
1. 1 quarter note = 1 beat
2. # type of note
3.
4.
5.
6. 1 half note (2 beats) + 1 whole note (4 beats) = 6 beats
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
Think you know how it works?
