  1. Devan A. –

    After I taught a lesson using students to represent a music note and chairs to represent the steady beat, I was able to have students break into groups to create their own rhythm patterns in a similar way using these cards. My students loved this activity, and these manipulatives made it so easy for them to understand what can be a confusing concept.
