Understanding the Task
The worksheet is titled
"This Little Piggy Has Rhythm", and it involves adding musical notes based on their
rhythmic values (note durations). The key at the top says:
>
1 + 1 = 2
> This means:
> - A
quarter note (♩) has a value of
1 beat.
> - So, two quarter notes = 2 beats.
We are to add up the total number of beats for each group of notes in each row and write the sum in the blank space.

Note Values Reference
Here are the common note values used in music:
-
Quarter note (♩) = 1 beat
-
Eighth note (♪) = ½ beat
-
Sixteenth note (♫) = ¼ beat
Also:
- Two eighth notes = 1 beat
- Four sixteenth notes = 1 beat
---
Now let’s go through each row one by one.
---
Row 1:
```
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Each quarter note = 1 beat
So: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 =
4
✔ Answer: 4
---
Row 2:
```
♪ + ♪ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Two eighth notes = ½ + ½ = 1 beat
Two quarter notes = 1 + 1 = 2 beats
Total: 1 + 2 =
3
✔ Answer: 3
---
Row 3:
```
♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♩ = ?
```
Four sixteenth notes = ¼ × 4 = 1 beat
One quarter note = 1 beat
Total: 1 + 1 =
2
✔ Answer: 2
---
Row 4:
```
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Five quarter notes = 5 × 1 =
5
✔ Answer: 5
---
Row 5:
```
♪ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
One eighth note = ½
Four quarter notes = 4 × 1 = 4
Total: ½ + 4 =
4.5 or
4 ½
But since we’re working in whole beats, and this is likely expecting fractional answers, we can write it as
4.5 or
9/2.
But looking at the context, perhaps they want
fractional or
decimal form.
✔ Answer: 4.5
---
Row 6:
```
♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ = ?
```
Six sixteenth notes = 6 × ¼ = 1.5 beats =
1.5
✔ Answer: 1.5
---
Row 7:
```
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Six quarter notes = 6 × 1 =
6
✔ Answer: 6
---
Row 8:
```
♪ + ♪ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Two eighth notes = ½ + ½ = 1
Four quarter notes = 4 × 1 = 4
Total: 1 + 4 =
5
✔ Answer: 5
---
Row 9:
```
♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ + ♫ = ?
```
Eight sixteenth notes = 8 × ¼ =
2
✔ Answer: 2
---
Row 10:
```
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
Seven quarter notes = 7 × 1 =
7
✔ Answer: 7
---
Bonus Question:
```
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ = ?
```
One quarter note + nine quarter notes = 10 quarter notes
10 × 1 =
10
✔ Answer: 10
