Sample Lesson

 

We recommend that teachers begin by taking in a free one-hour MathBeat webinar to ensure you have everything you need to start using MathBeat in the classroom. Participants discuss where they see the math in a MathBeat lesson and then brainstorm where they could go with the math-music connection. It’s collegial, hands-on, and fun!

The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) has been providing educators with curated resources and tools to enhance their teaching practice since 1886.  

In 1995, the RCM created a new division, Learning Through the Arts, to empower public school teachers to weave music and the arts into their instruction. 

In 2014/15, an academic study by a Queen’s University researcher found that Learning Through the Arts led to large gains for a cohort of Grade 9 math students in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The percentage of Indigenous students who met the provincial standard grew from 44 to 66%, nearing the provincial average for all students. Non-indigenous students also experienced large gains. 

MathBeat builds on this achievement with user friendly tools and resources so non-musically trained teachers can now benefit from including math-music connections in their instruction.
