Learning Fractions for the Musical/Rhythmic

Intelligence 

This is a way to learn fractions if you are a musical/rhythmic person. If you look at the chart on the right, you can see how every music note value is related to a picture of a fraction.

 

The first row, which shows the purple circle, is 1 whole. If you look to it's right, you see the music note value which represents a whole note.

 

The second row, which has the blue semi-circle, represents a half note. If you look to its right, it shows the music note which represents a half note value.

 

The third row represents a quarter of a fraction. It is the yellow quarter of a circle. To it's right you can see the quarter note value.

 

The fourth row represents an eighth of a circle. On the right you can see the eighth note value.

 

The fifth row has a red 16th piece of a circle which represents a 16th note value. To the right of that there is a 16th note value.

 

All these note values in music give us the rhythm of a song.
