Simple exercise for students to match musical note names with their correct symbols.

Let’s solve this matching problem step by step.

We are given musical note names on the left and musical symbols on the right. Our job is to match each name with its correct symbol.

First, let’s recall what each note looks like:

- Whole note: This is an open oval (no stem). It lasts for 4 beats in 4/4 time.
- Half note: This is an open oval with a stem. It lasts for 2 beats.
- Quarter note: This is a filled-in black oval with a stem. It lasts for 1 beat.
- Eighth note: This is a filled-in black oval with a stem and one flag (or beam if connected). It lasts for half a beat.
- Sixteenth note: This is a filled-in black oval with a stem and two flags (or beams). It lasts for a quarter of a beat.

Now, let’s look at the symbols on the right from top to bottom:

1. First symbol: Filled note head + stem + ONE flag → That’s an eighth note.
2. Second symbol: Filled note head + stem + TWO flags → That’s a sixteenth note.
3. Third symbol: Filled note head + stem, no flags → That’s a quarter note.
4. Fourth symbol: Open oval, no stem → That’s a whole note.
5. Fifth symbol: Open oval + stem → That’s a half note.

Now match them to the words on the left:

- “whole note” → matches the 4th symbol (open oval, no stem)
- “half note” → matches the 5th symbol (open oval with stem)
- “quarter note” → matches the 3rd symbol (filled note with stem, no flags)
- “eighth note” → matches the 1st symbol (filled note with stem and one flag)
- “Sixteenth note” → matches the 2nd symbol (filled note with stem and two flags)

So the correct matches are:

- whole note → 4th symbol
- half note → 5th symbol
- quarter note → 3rd symbol
- eighth note → 1st symbol
- Sixteenth note → 2nd symbol

Final Answer:
whole note → fourth symbol (open oval)
half note → fifth symbol (open oval with stem)
quarter note → third symbol (filled note with stem)
eighth note → first symbol (filled note with one flag)
Sixteenth note → second symbol (filled note with two flags)
