![]() ![]() The tempo, or speed, is measured in beats per minute (BPM). ( In the featured sample of music, the tempo of the drum track doesn’t match the tempo of the instrumental sample. Ask students to describe the challenge that Manny and Luis posed to the teens in the video segment.(Sample responses: counting, decimals, numerical operations, ratios, rates, subtraction, elapsed time, problem solving using proportions.) After showing the segment, ask students to discuss the different ways that Manny and Luis use math in their music. Ask students to watch for the math that the artists are using and to write down their observations as they watch the video. Introduce the video segment Math in Music: Introduction by letting students know that you will now be showing them a segment which features musicians Manny Dominguez and Luis Lopez from Brooklyn, NY, who have formed a hip-hop duo named DobleFlo.If this is your first time using the program with this class, you may choose to play the video segment The Setup, which introduces the professionals and student teams featured in Get the Math. Explain that today’s lesson features video segments and interactives from Get the Math, a program that highlights how math is used in the real world.( Possible answers include: in counting the beat, in calculating the tempo, writing rhymes, in digital music programs, etc.) Ask your students if they play a musical instrument and, if so, to describe how math can be helpful in mastering music. Ask students where they think mathematics might be used in music. Explain that today’s lesson will be focusing on the use of math in music.For example, ask students to tell you their favorite genres of music (jazz, hip-hop, pop, classical, etc.). Begin with a brief discussion about music.Print out one copy of the “Math in Music: Take the challenge” and the “Math in Music: Try other music challenges” answer keys.Make one copy of the “Math in Music: Take the challenge” and “Math in Music: Try other music challenges” handouts for each student.Using an online bookmarking tool (such as delicious, diigo, or portaportal) will allow you to organize all the links in a central location. Bookmark all web interactives you plan to use in the lesson on each computer in your classroom.Download the video clips used in the lesson to your classroom computer(s) or prepare to watch them using your classroom’s internet connection.Preview all of the video segments and web interactives used in this lesson.Prior to teaching this lesson, you will need to: Computers with internet access for Learning Activities 1 and 2 (Note: These activities can either be conducted with one computer and an LCD screen or by dividing students into small groups and using multiple computers.). ![]() Grid paper, chart paper, whiteboards/markers or other materials for students to display their math strategies used to solve the challenges in the Learning Activities.One calculator for use in Learning Activities 1 and 2 (Optional). ![]()
