2nd Edition Lesson
Same But Different

In this STEAM lesson, students will explore how objects can be measured in different ways, understanding that smaller units require more to match larger ones. Then they’ll apply this concept to music, measuring with whole, half, and quarter notes, and demonstrate their understanding by reading and performing a simple piece.
