Synopsis

Music is Sound Learning! Like author Scott Beall, you can capitalize on your students' natural interest in music to deepen their understanding of functions, transformations, and multiple representations of relationships. With the engaging activities in Functional Melodies and the easy-to-use music CD, you will have everything you need to help students connect musical ideas to mathematical concepts. No musical training is necessary, but there is sure to be a performer in your class! The lessons can be grouped as units of study or used individually in your algebra or geometry class. Every lesson features the following: A conceptual warm-up for you and your students, to hand out as a reading or to read aloud A blackline resource-sheet master of facts, instructions, and examples Blackline activity masters Music CD tracks keyed to the activities In addition, you will find thorough teacher's notes that include the conceptual basis of the activities and ways to incorporate them in your class, as well as teaching tips, questions and answers, and discussion points. You will find that your mathematics students understand functions or fractions or ratios better after they have seen and heard these mathematics concepts realized in music. With these lessons, students hear, visualize, perform, think, graph, and write about musical relationships and the mathematics they illustrate. An insightful essay by the author and a chart correlating mathematical topics to music topics precede the activities. Your students will be truly captivated by the sounds and issues of music performance and composition. You will see even your most reluctant students become engaged. A real boon for the aural learner. Scott Beall teaches mathematics and music at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, and is also a professional musician who has composed, worked as a studio musician, and is currently leading a versatile dance band.
