This worksheet combines music and math by using the values of musical notes to solve addition problems. To solve these problems, we need to know the standard durations of the musical notes:
-
Whole note (O): 4 beats
-
Half note (𝅘𝅥): 2 beats
-
Quarter note (♩): 1 beat
-
Eighth note (♪): 0.5 beats
-
Sixteenth note (𝅘𝅥𝅮): 0.25 beats
