Students can use this chart and practice sheet to master adding up the values of whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes.

Let's solve the "Counting Beats" worksheet step by step.

Understanding the Notes and Their Values:

From the chart:

- Whole note (○) = 4 beats
- Half note (♩) = 2 beats
- Quarter note (♪) = 1 beat
- Eighth note (♪ with flag) = ½ beat

---

Examples Given:

- ○ + ♩ = 4 + 2 = 6 beats
- ♩ + ♪ = 2 + 1 = 3 beats

Now, let’s solve each problem using these values.

🔍 Explanation Summary:

We used the standard note values in music notation:
- Whole note = 4 beats
- Half note = 2 beats
- Quarter note = 1 beat
- Eighth note = ½ beat (not used here, but shown in key)

Then we added up the beats for each combination.
